🚗 Private-party deals, checked before you buy

Find the deals before everyone else does.

Wheel Scout scans Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp listings around you, scores and analyzes every listing with AI, and runs salvage & odometer checks — so you know exactly what a car is worth before you buy.

How it works

Three steps to a better deal

Enter your ZIP once. Wheel Scout does the searching, the math, and the background checks for you.

1

Enter your ZIP code

Wheel Scout pulls live listings from Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp across the radius you choose — all in one app.

2

See what's actually a deal

Our AI reads every listing — price, mileage, title, and the seller's own description — and scores it against market value for that exact model. Risky ones get flagged before you waste a drive, and the genuine deals rise to the top.

3

Know the history before you buy

Run an NMVTIS or Carfax report right inside the app, so you catch a branded title or rolled-back mileage before you hand over any cash.

See it in action

Try a few real listings

Tap any car to see exactly what a buyer sees — the score, the AI price check, and the warnings we surface before you ever message a seller.

💰

An honest price read

Every listing is measured against real local prices for that exact car — so a "cheap" one that's actually overpriced can't fool you.

🛡️

Title & odometer, checked

Salvage, rebuilt, and rolled-back-mileage cars are flagged up front, not discovered in the driveway.

⚠️

The catches, called out

Dealers posing as private sellers, transmission problems buried in the text, scam patterns — surfaced in plain English.

What you get

Built to spot the deal — and the trap

The cheap car isn't always the deal. Wheel Scout tells the difference.

💰

AI Price Check

Reads the full listing and compares the asking price to real local comps for that exact vehicle — so you know instantly if it's a steal or overpriced.

🛡️

Salvage & Odometer Checks

One-tap NMVTIS history check surfaces salvage, rebuilt, and total-loss titles plus odometer rollbacks before you hand over any cash.

⚠️

Risk & Scam Flags

Automatically catches wire-transfer scams, "no title," parts-only cars, blown engines, timing-chain rattles, and other red flags buried in the text.

🏢

Dealer & Fake-Seller Alerts

Flags listings that are really dealers or unlicensed flippers posing as regular private sellers, so you know who you're actually buying from.

📍

Three Marketplaces, One Feed

Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp searched together — deals within the distance you choose, with mileage, title status, and distance right on the card.

🔔

2. We search all three marketplaces

Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp — searched together, so one saved search covers all three. No juggling apps.

3. Get alerted fast

Your searches are checked on a schedule set by your plan — as often as every 2 minutes on Dealer — and each alert lands with the deal score already on the card. One more tap runs the title check.
