Wheelwise — Search by VIN & Browse Auction Cars
Research auction vehicles by VIN, browse makes and models, and review available photos and listing fields. Fast navigation: Make → Model → Year → VIN.
Tip: If you already have a VIN, start with VIN Search.
Auction vehicle research, in one place
Wheelwise is an auction indexing and browsing tool. It helps you quickly move from a broad category (make → model → year) to a specific vehicle record (VIN page) where you can review available photos, auction fields, and sale entries when present in the source data.
Use Wheelwise to compare vehicles for export, rebuilding projects, or purchase research. Data availability depends on the source: some listings provide detailed specs, while others only include basic information. Missing values usually mean “not provided by the source,” not “zero.”
Always verify VIN, title status, and condition using official auction documents and inspection. Wheelwise speeds up research and organization — it does not replace due diligence.
Browse Wheelwise
Quick ways to explore the catalog.
Popular actions
The fastest path is VIN → details. If you do not have a VIN, start by browsing makes, open a model, then choose a year to see VIN pages. This structure improves discoverability and keeps navigation consistent across the entire catalog.
Popular makes
Quick entry points. Choose a make to open the model index, then browse by year and VIN.
These links lead to make indexes. Each make page groups vehicles by model name and shows counts, which helps you identify common variants and quickly drill down to the year level.
If you don’t see the make you need here, open the full directory: Browse Makes.
How Wheelwise works
A simple path from browsing to VIN research.
2) Pick a year
Choosing a year shows vehicles indexed for that make/model/year combination. This supports comparisons across time and helps spot repeated sale entries.
3) Open a VIN page
VIN pages often contain the most useful view: photos, auction details, and specs when available. Use the VIN page as your research hub for one vehicle.
What data you may see
Depending on the source record, a listing may include auction name/date, title status, damage categories, odometer text, powertrain fields, drivetrain, cylinders, and photos. Some vehicles do not include a final bid. Treat missing fields as “not provided” and verify everything with official documentation.
Recent vehicles
A small sample of recently indexed records.
This section shows a limited sample of the newest records currently available in our index. Open a vehicle to view the VIN page. If a VIN appears multiple times, you may see repeated entries across different sale attempts.
Want to browse instead of using a VIN? Start from Makes and drill down to a model and year.
FAQ
Common questions about browsing auction records.
No. Wheelwise focuses on auction indexing and browsing. It can help you research auction listings, photos, and sale entries when available, but it is not a substitute for official vehicle history reports or inspections.
Auction sources vary. Some records include complete specs and final bid information, while others provide partial details. Missing values usually mean “not provided by the source.”
Yes. The same vehicle can be re-listed or sold again. When the data is available, Wheelwise may show multiple sale entries for the same VIN.
Always verify title status, damage notes, and condition using official auction documents, inspections, and your buyer requirements. Use Wheelwise to speed up research, then confirm with primary sources.
If you have a specific VIN and want help understanding what’s shown on the page, use the contact page and include the VIN and the question.
