Used Cars Near
Wrightsville Beach, NC

about 22 minutes from Wrightsville Beach, roughly 13 miles down Carolina Beach Rd.

Wrightsville Beach sits at the north end of the county and we sit at the south end, so buyers from the island usually pass three or four other lots on the way to us. They come anyway, because the price on the listing is the price at the desk.

We keep roughly 20 to 30 hand-picked used cars, trucks, and SUVs on the lot at any given time, each one inspected and reconditioned before it is listed. If you are driving down from the beach, get pre-approved online first so most of the paperwork is finished before you get here.
