Imagine you’re playing a game where you can buy and sell cars. That’s what Weelee is like but in real life! Weelee is a cool company that recently opened a car MegaStore in Midstream Gauteng that helps people buy and sell cars. The place is less than a kilometer from South Africa’s largest car supermarket, WeBuyCars. Well, Weelee has a website and app where people can list their cars for sale. On the other hand, you can buy a vehicle from their branch in Midstream. It’s like a big online car market where you can find the best deals.
If you have been living under the rock for the past 5 years, worry not. Here’s how it works: If you want to sell a car, you can put it on Weelee, and people and other dealerships will bid for it. The highest bid wins, just like in an auction, this will give you the best price unlike if you were to trade in with one dealership. One would not get the best price and there is limited room to say no. On the other hand at Weelee, if you want to buy a car, you can choose from lots of different ones. As of January 2024 they have more than 1100 vehicles at their branch in Midstream. The vehicles range from big cars like the BMW X5, and Toyota Landcruisers and small ones like Suzuki Swift and Ford Fiesta.
What makes Weelee really cool is that they check all the cars to make sure they’re good. They look at everything, from the engine to the paint, and the interior and give you all the information so that you the exact condition of the car you are getting. The level of transparency at Weelee will make you think critically when it comes to buying a car.
In 2024 no one has money lying under the matress unless if are a politician, hahaha so at Weelee you have the option to finance a vehicle. They work with all major banks in South Africa so be rest assured that you will get help. If you don’t like the traditional car finance way, then you can consider the rent-to-own option. This option enables you to pay for the car bit by bit as you use the vehicle, after the agreed period the car becomes yours. This makes buying a car easier and less scary.
But Weelee is not just about buying and selling cars. They also teach you about cars. They have guides and tips on their website that can help you understand more about cars in general. For example, they can teach you why some cars lose value over time or how to find a good used car. This will definitely help you in the long run as you know when to dispose of a vehicle.
In this article, we take a look at nine used cars under R100 000 from Weelee as of January 2024, each with its unique features and considerations. Whether you’re into classics or modern efficiency, there’s something for everyone in our lineup. As we look at the list we will also list their mileage, the condition, and estimate recon costs.
