What Is Car Buying?
Car buying is the fastest way to sell your car in Lithuania. Instead of posting your car on portals and waiting for a buyer for weeks or months, a buying service lets you sell your car in a single day: a professional appraiser inspects the car, offers a price and, if you agree — the money is in your account the same day.
WHEELSTREET car buying operates across Lithuania — in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys and Alytus. We buy cars of any make and any age: new and used, with technical faults, with leasing debt, after an accident, or simply when you want to change your car quickly.
Our goal is to offer a fair price and save your time. The average buying price is 80–90% of market value, and the whole process from enquiry to receiving the money takes only 1–3 hours.
Why Sell Through WHEELSTREET?
Same Day
From the call to money in your account – one day. No waiting.
Fair Price
Professional valuation based on market data. Up to 90% of market value.
Paperwork — On Us
Transfer, registration, insurance – we handle it all.
Got Debt? No Problem
We buy cars with an outstanding leasing or credit balance.
Which Cars Do We Buy?
We buy practically any car — regardless of make, age or condition. Here are the main categories:
Any Make
Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Škoda, Hyundai, Kia, Volvo, Ford, Opel, Renault, Mazda, Peugeot, Honda, Lexus and all others.
The most popular makes get the best prices thanks to high demand.
With Technical Faults
Engine problems, gearbox failures, body corrosion, electronic defects — we buy cars in any technical condition.
Repair costs are deducted from the price, but it is often more profitable than repairing it yourself.
With Leasing Debt
Car still under lease? We pay off the remaining leasing balance and transfer the difference to you. We work with all banks: SEB, Swedbank, Citadele, Inbank.
We sort out all the paperwork with the leasing company.
After an Accident
Been in a traffic accident? We buy cars with body damage, after a collision, even if the car no longer runs.
This is often a better alternative than receiving only the residual value from insurance.
High Mileage
200,000+ km on the clock? No problem. We base the valuation on actual condition, not just mileage. A well-maintained car with high mileage still has value.
A service book and regular maintenance can increase the buying price.
Business Cars
Renewing your company fleet? We also buy company cars — with VAT invoices, in large quantities, fleet trade-in.
Special terms for buying 3+ cars at once.
Buying Service vs Consignment vs Private Sale
Three different ways to sell a car. Which one suits you? Choose based on speed, price and effort:
| Criterion | Buying service (us) | Consignment | Private sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (% of market value) | 75–90% | 95–105% (4–5% commission) | 100% (once you manage to sell) |
| Time to money | 1–3 hours | 2–4 weeks | 1–6 months (on average) |
| Effort | Minimal (1 visit) | Minimal (we sell it) | High (photos, listings, meetings) |
| Leasing payoff | ✓ Handled by us | ✓ Handled by us | ✗ Yours (complicated) |
| After accident / faults | ✓ Any condition | ⚠ Usually not | ⚠ Hard to find a buyer |
| Listing costs | €0 | €0 (we pay) | €15–60 (Autoplius VIP/TOP) |
| Fraud risk | None | None (we screen) | ⚠ Money swaps, fakes |
| Best when… | You need money fast, car has problems | You have 2–4 weeks, car is in good order | You have ~3 months and want 100% value |
What Determines the Buying Price?
The car buying price is set based on several key factors. Here is what has the biggest impact:
Make and Model
Toyota, BMW, Volkswagen and other popular makes are in higher demand, so the buying price will be higher too. Rarer makes (e.g. Citroën, Fiat) may get a lower price due to a smaller pool of buyers.
Year of Manufacture
Newer cars are naturally valued higher. The biggest depreciation happens in the first 3 years (~40%), and slows down afterwards. Cars 5–10 years old usually offer the best price-to-reliability ratio.
Mileage (Kilometres)
Average normal mileage: ~15,000 km per year. A car with 100,000 km over 5 years — that's normal. With 200,000 km over 5 years — the price will be significantly lower. But it's not just mileage that matters; service history does too.
Technical Condition
A working engine, sound brakes, good suspension — these are the basic requirements for the best price. Each fault reduces the price by roughly the repair cost + a 10–20% margin.
Body Condition and Corrosion
Repainted panels, rust, dents from impacts — all of this lowers the buying price. A car with no body damage can fetch up to 15% more than a comparable one with defects.
Market Demand and Season
SUVs and off-roaders are pricier in autumn/winter, convertibles — in spring. Electric and hybrid cars are constantly rising in value due to growing demand. Popular models (RAV4, Tiguan, Octavia) sell faster = a better price.

Buying Service vs Private Sale vs Trade-In
| Aspect | WHEELSTREET Buying Service | Private Sale | Dealer Trade-In |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time | 1 day | 2–8 weeks | 1–3 days |
| Price | 80–90% of market value | 100% market price | 70–80% of market value |
| Arranging viewings | Not needed | Needed, lots of them | Not needed |
| Paperwork | Handled by WHEELSTREET | You handle it yourself | Handled by the dealer |
| With leasing debt | Possible | Complicated | Possible |
| Technical faults | Possible | Very difficult | Rarely accepted |
| After an accident | Possible | Almost impossible | Usually not |
| If the price doesn't suit you | We offer a private sale | You keep waiting | Trade-in only |
WHEELSTREET advantage: if the buying price doesn't satisfy you — we offer a private sale through our platform, where you can get up to 20% more. Everything in one place.
Car Trade-In
Trade-in (trade-in) is a way to sell your old car and buy a new one straight away, in a single deal with the same dealer. Instead of selling your car privately and separately searching for a new one – you sort it all out in a single visit.
Advantages: maximum convenience (one visit, one deal), no need to arrange private viewings or listings, and sometimes a tax advantage is possible – VAT is calculated only on the price difference. This is especially attractive when you want to switch into another car quickly with no interim period.
Disadvantages: a trade-in usually brings 10–20% less than a private sale, because the dealer needs to earn their margin. Your choice is also limited – you only trade with one specific dealer.
When to choose a trade-in? If you already know which car you want and value your time more than the maximum price – a trade-in is a great solution. If your car is worth more than €15,000 and you have time – a private sale could bring several thousand more.
WHEELSTREET helps in both cases: we can buy your car at market price or connect you with partners offering a trade-in service with the best trade-in valuation. Get in touch – we'll advise which option is most beneficial for you.

When Is It Worth Selling a Car Through a Buying Service?
A car buying service is the best choice in these situations:
- You urgently need money — the car is sold in 1 day, money straight into your account.
- A car with faults — no need to invest in repairs before selling. We buy it as it is.
- Outstanding leasing debt — we pay off the leasing balance and sort out all the paperwork with the bank.
- You don't want negotiations and viewings — no need to arrange 10 viewings with strangers from Autoplius.
- You're changing your car — the trade-in option lets you sell the old one and buy a new one in a single deal.
- A car after an accident — the insurance company is offering too little? We can offer more.
- You're leaving Lithuania — need to sell quickly before relocating? A buying service is the fastest way.
If your situation isn't on this list — get in touch and we'll advise whether a buying service or a private sale pays off more for you.
