About Us

Our Story

Since launching in 2020, WholesaleDirectBuy.com has helped everyday buyers access the same dealer-only inventory used by licensed car dealerships — without the markup.

What started as a small operation focusing on Cadillac Escalade models with deep industry connections has grown into a trusted nationwide service. Over the past few years, we’ve successfully sourced and sold over $5 million in vehicles to satisfied customers across the United States.

By prioritizing transparency, value, and customer service, we’ve built a reputation as a smarter way to buy wholesale vehicles — and we’re just getting started.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please email sales@wholesaledirectbuy.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How does the process work?

Once you submit your vehicle inquiry below, our team searches exclusive auctions and dealer networks to find matches. We’ll send you available options and guide you through the purchase, inspection, and delivery process—making it simple, transparent, and cost-effective.

Aren’t auction vehicles low quality or risky?

Not at all. Many vehicles at dealer-only auctions are off-lease, trade-ins, or fleet vehicles from major brands and rental companies — often in great condition with full service records. We carefully vet each vehicle, review condition reports, and can even arrange third-party inspections to ensure you're getting a reliable, high-quality car. Our goal is to protect your investment and help you buy with confidence.

How much can I expect to save?

On average, our customers save $2,000 to $5,000 or more compared to traditional retail dealership pricing. Since you're buying directly from dealer-only wholesale inventory, you're avoiding hidden markups, unnecessary fees, and upsells — getting the vehicle closer to its true market value.

Do I need a dealer license to buy through you?

No, you don’t need a dealer license. We operate under our independent dealer license, giving you access to wholesale inventory without needing one yourself. We handle everything from sourcing to paperwork—so you get the benefits without the hassle.

Do you offer shipping?

Yes! We work with buyers nationwide and offer nationwide shipping. No matter where you’re located, we can help you find the right vehicle and get it delivered to your door safely and efficiently. All quotes are at dealer shipping costs, to help save you money!

How do I pay?

Once you choose a vehicle, we’ll provide a detailed invoice with the total cost, including any fees and shipping (if applicable). Payment is typically made via wire transfer or certified bank check to ensure secure processing. We’ll walk you through each step to make sure everything is clear, safe, and seamless.

Do I receive a Bill of Sale?

Yes, absolutely. You’ll receive a Bill of Sale and Buyer's Order documenting the full details of your purchase, including vehicle information, sale price, and buyer/seller info. This document is important for registration and serves as your official proof of purchase. We’ll send it to you via DocuSign for your records. These documents also protect you in regards to submitting payment.

How do I receive the title?

Once payment is complete and the transaction is finalized, the vehicle title will be mailed directly to you—typically within 7–14 business days.

What about registration and taxes?

Since you're purchasing the vehicle through us but registering it in your own state, you’ll handle registration and taxes at your local DMV. We provide all the necessary paperwork, including the title and bill of sale, to make the process smooth. Sales tax is typically paid when you register the vehicle—not at the time of purchase.

Do you offer temp tags?

Yes, in most cases we can provide 30-day temporary tags to allow you to legally drive the vehicle while you complete registration in your state. We’ll guide you through the process and make sure you have everything you need. Permanent registration and license plates will be handled through your local DMV.

Do you offer financing?

We don’t offer in-house financing, but we can help connect you with trusted lenders who offer financing or leasing options. Whether you’re looking for traditional auto loans or lease-to-own programs, we’ll help guide you through the approval process and connect you with the right resources to get your deal done.

What if I have trade?

We do accept trade-ins! Just provide details about your current vehicle — including make, model, mileage, VIN, and photos — and we’ll run your vehicle thru a dealer auction nearest you to maximize value!

How much do you charge?

We charge a flat $500 fee per sale, which is significantly lower than what traditional dealerships typically add in markup and fees. Our goal is to keep things transparent and affordable while giving you access to wholesale pricing and dealer-only inventory.
