## What is Wheel Scout?

Real-time alerts for the Best Used Car Deals Near You. Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and OfferUp in one feed.

Wheel Scout helps car buyers find, check, and evaluate underpriced private-party car listings before everyone else does.

We scan Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and OfferUp around the clock, and score every car 0-100 against real local prices, so the true bargains jump out instantly. Save a search and get notified instantly when that vehicle is posted. 

Know what a vehicle is worth in seconds
Our AI Price Check tells you what it's worth, and what to offer. Before you drive out.

Check the vehicle history before you buy
One tap runs the title, salvage, theft and odometer check on any VIN, so you never waste a trip on a lemon.

Scan any VIN with your camera
Standing at a car? Point the camera at the VIN barcode/ door sticker/ windshield tag. You'll get the year, make, model and specs instantly, then unlock the full car history report.

Ai Car Chat Bot, Ask anything
Car Chat gives straight answers about any car: common problems, what to look for, what to say to the seller.

All the Filters. Only see cars you'd buy
Filter by make, model, year, mileage, price, distance and seller type. Private-party deals stay on top.

Get Notified, Message sellers first
Open the original ad and message the seller in two taps. Instant alerts mean you're first in line.

Never lose a deal, Instant Price Drop Alerts
Save the cars you like. We'll tell you when the price drops.

Memberships are available as an in-app subscription and unlock scanning, full vehicle history reports, and AI pricing on every car. Cancel anytime in your Apple subscription settings.
