Selling your used car is a really big deal. Aside from buying or selling property – or perhaps going all-in on Crypto bets (which isn’t advisable) – this is as big a transaction as it gets. And just like in a job interview, it is human nature to ask many questions, seek answers and get assurance so that you can move forward with the next step. Our approach to our FAQs page is, “How long is a piece of string?” There isn’t a limit to the questions customers can ask before confidently selling their car online.

We thought we’d exhausted all your questions concerning selling used cars in our previous FAQ article. Butt no, there are more. We’ve uncovered a few more pertinent areas of customer concern and outstanding questions.

We all love the 1st For Women Fearless advert and can identify with the subscript reality it is referencing. Women disempowerment has a long and complex history and women trying to sell their cars is a context that has often left them feeling vulnerable, patronised and taken advantage of. No more! While “Weelee it” may not be a feminist slogan, it certainly celebrates the equitable process of selling cars online. This is clearly referenced in our reviews and is a clear testament to how selling cars on the Weelee online platform is an empowering experience. 

Chauvinism and sexism may still rear their ugly heads when a woman drives into a dealership (a heavily male-dominated industry) or tries to sell her car privately, but that reality is non-existent on Weelee’s innovative online car selling platform.

One of the regular FAQs we get asked is: “Do we buy cars and bakkies?” We have a typically South African answer – “Ja-nee.” No, we don’t technically buy cars and bakkies, but yes, our 1000s of pre-approved and reputable Weelee dealers do. That is what makes our online platform so innovative and it is the reason we have sold in excess of 100 000 cars over the last four years.

And of course, our promise – that you will get a better cash price – is not just limited to when you sell your car; Weeleeing it is also the better way when selling your bakkie.

Hands up who enjoys waiting in line? Exactly! We all hate waiting in queues. From airports, supermarkets and doctor’s rooms to petrol stations, traffic jams and Home Affairs, impatience and frustration rank high when individuals are required to wait in line. Apart from inefficiency and disrespect, waiting in long queues tends to bring out the worst in all of us; that lurking inner demon who only surfaces when your time is unnecessarily wasted. So, it is refreshing to know that if you need to sell your car online, there is no waiting in line if you choose to Weelee it!

We get it. Queues suck and selling your car sucks. That is why at Weelee, waiting and selling your car is an oxymoron. (We thought this was apt seeing we are already a verb).

Selling your car online at Weelee means you can skip the queues and there is no waiting to get your car uploaded and sold. From our side, we are talking about a 24-hour turnaround time from start to finish. Any delays lie squarely at your door.

Not only is the world and its dog online – we have written an entire blog on this – but almost everything seems to be online. In fact, most of life seems to have gone online – from ordering groceries, to submitting your SARS returns, to online schooling, to presenting webinars, to applying for a new ID doc and investigating your family tree. Of course, a lot of ‘doing online’ takes a lot of time and can come with a lot of schlepp. So, when you hear you can sell your car online, technophobes and busy people (that’s all of us) may assume it also comes with a lot of hassle. But you couldn’t be more wrong!

Weelee’s simple and convenient online experience and innovative bidding platform have completely transformed the world of online car selling. If you Weelee it – in case you haven’t heard, we are now a verb – you will have a seamless experience, guaranteed.

ANYONE can sell their car online

We’re all familiar with Murphy’s Law: “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong,”  and driving on our roads is no exception; things inevitably go wrong and it is rare that a vehicle arrives on an online car selling marketplace with a clean bill of health. One of our most frequently asked questions is, “Do we actually buy cars?”  It’s a good question. When we say, ‘we buy your car’, we are actually referring to our pre-approved dealers who are waiting to bid on your car, no matter its shape and size, even if it comes with minor damage. 

What you may not know is that Capt. Edward Murphy, the US Air Force engineer working on a project to determine how much deceleration a human can cope with, in a sudden car crash, was broadly misinterpreted. What Murphy actually remarked to his colleagues was, “If there’s any way to do it wrong, I’ll find it”. And any dealer will likely find your vehicle imperfections too!

Our vetted and reputable dealers, as the buyers, adopt a flexible policy – bidding on and buying cars with previous damage (within reason), and subject to reasonable deductions in the final offer price to offset the outstanding repair work required before resale.Here are three different options for you to consider when selling your car online with minor damage, to prepare you for an unbeatable cash offer for your pre-loved vehicle.

Americans call it a pick-up truck, Australians refer to it as a ute (/juːt/ yoot), and in South Africa, we call it a ‘bakkie.’ From Amaroks, Hiluxes, Rangers and Dmaxes to the smaller NP200s and Corsas, our fondness for these robust utility vehicles is unmatched. On-road or offroad, from farm to city, the beloved bakkie is part of South Africa’s iconic car culture. So, when it comes time to part with your adventure buddy on wheels, don’t just sell your bakkie, Weelee it!

Due to COVID-19 and its unprecedented effects on the economy, 2020 saw a decline in new motor sales. The used car market, however, saw a welcome boom, with bakkies ranking high on the list as one of the most popular second-hand cars for sale. 
The trend is not surprising. Bakkies are tough, versatile, dependable, practical, durable and ruggedly good looking – making them the trusted wheels of choice for farmers, contractors, off-road adventurers and city dwellers.

That is why selling your second-hand bakkie deserves the red carpet treatment which is what it will get when you Weelee it.
