Why Sell Direct to Wheeley (And Not to a Marketplace)?

Marketplace platforms like Carro, Motorist, OneShift and Carousell will all line up a buyer for your car — at a cost. That cost comes out of your car's price. A marketplace typically deducts a 5-12% service fee on top of taking longer (3-8 weeks median). Direct-to-dealer sales work the other way: we keep the margin and pass it to you as the highest cash offer.

When you sell through Wheeley directly, three things happen on day one: we know your car has been pre-screened for our short-COE inventory pipeline, we know what we'll pay before we even see the car, and we lock the price in writing before you do anything. The total time from "I'm thinking about selling" to "cash in my bank" is typically one to three business days.

Sell my car Singapore — frequently asked questions

Where is the best place to sell my car in Singapore?

Direct dealers like Wheeley Auto pay the highest cash because they cut the marketplace middle-man. We buy your car outright, settle any outstanding loan with your bank, and pay the net balance to you by PayNow on the same business day. Compare that to consignment (you pay for parking, adverts, and the time it takes to find a buyer) or trade-in (the dealer deducts 15-25% from your car's market value). For the best cash, sell direct.

Who pays the most for used cars in Singapore?

Direct dealers like Wheeley Auto consistently pay the highest cash for cars in the 2-3 year short-COE segment — that's our specialty. We own the inventory turn and can quote a competitive offer within 24 hours of your valuation request.

How do I sell my car in Singapore step by step?

Five steps: (1) Submit your car details on Wheeley's /sell page. (2) Receive an indicative offer within an hour. (3) Schedule a brief physical inspection. (4) Accept the locked-in offer and sign the LTA transfer. (5) Receive cash via PayNow the same business day. The whole process typically takes 24-72 hours.

Is it better to sell my car or scrap it?

It depends on three numbers: PARF rebate, COE rebate, and market residual. If your car is under 10 years old and a popular model, your market residual usually beats the combined PARF + COE rebate by SGD 5,000-15,000 — sell. If your car is over 10 years or has high mileage, the PARF rebate is zero and the market may offer very little — scrap is the cleaner exit. Use Wheeley's paper-value calculator to compare numbers before deciding.

How long does it take to sell a car in Singapore?

Through Wheeley the average time from valuation request to cash in hand is 1-3 business days. Through consignment dealers the timeline is 30-90 days. Through marketplace platforms like Carousell or SgCarMart, the median time to a sold car is 3-8 weeks.

What documents do I need to sell my car in Singapore?

You will need your NRIC, the LTA vehicle log card, Certificate of Insurance, both keys (and spares), plus an IRV certificate if applicable. If you have outstanding finance, Wheeley handles the bank settlement directly at no cost to you.

Do you buy short-COE cars?

Yes. Short-COE cars (2-3 years remaining COE) are Wheeley's specialty and we consistently pay the highest cash for them in Singapore. Use the COE remaining calculator to check how many years you have left. If under 2 years, request a valuation today.

I have a short-COE car — is Wheeley interested?

Yes — short-COE (2-3 years remaining on COE) is our specialty. We pay the highest cash in Singapore for this segment because the inventory turn matches our bridgeable buyer base. See the Sell My Short COE Car page for the full walkthrough, or jump straight to the /sell form for an indicative offer.
