About WightWheels
The Isle of Wight's own car marketplace. Free for sellers. Genuinely local for buyers.
Why WightWheels exists
Buying or selling a car on the Isle of Wight has always been more complicated than it should be. National platforms like AutoTrader and eBay Motors attract mainland buyers who don't realise the car is on an island — or mainland sellers who don't understand the ferry logistics. Facebook Marketplace is full of enquiries that go nowhere. Dealers charge fees that eat into private sale value.
WightWheels is built to solve the specific problem of buying and selling cars on the Isle of Wight. Every listing is from a local seller. Every buyer who browses is looking specifically at island vehicles. No mainland tyre-kickers. No ferry confusion. No hidden fees for sellers.

Who runs WightWheels
WightWheels is run by islanders who understand the specific challenges of the local car market. We're not a national platform that happens to list IoW cars — we're built for the island from the ground up.
