Easiest car buying experience I've ever had!
Easiest car buying experience I've ever had. SafePay made payment and paperwork super easy. Cars and Bids shipping was fantastic, a few button clicks from me and they arranged everything.
Cars&Bids made the process of selling…fantastic!
Cars&Bids made the process of selling my car easy and it sold above my expected price. The support was very thorough and satisfying.
Worst company ever!
If I could give this company zero stars, I would. I had never bid before and I didn’t even know what I was doing, so yes I should’ve done my due diligence. Financing ended up falling through due to some unforeseen circumstances and so I had to back out of the deal. The seller was very understanding about the whole thing and they went with the second highest bidder that was only $400 less than me. Cars and bids refused to refund me my buyers fee. I was emailing back-and-forth with Support and they were very quick to ban me from this site forever, but they will not do anything about the buyers fee. There are plenty of articles on Reddit in different sites of them actually ending up refunding people’s buyers fees, so there is a precedent that set with that and the fact that there’s proof that they can in fact, refund buyers fee fees, they just pick and choose when they want to do it and who they want to do it for.
Member from the begining, first time seller
As my first time ever selling on an auction site, I knew CarsandBids was the perfect choice. I bought a car from the site several years prior so I felt comfortable with the process. The website and my auction specialist more than met my expectation. As a car guy with a limited budget, I will buy and sell with them in the future I am sure.
Flawless experience
Smooth and quick transaction with a clear process along the way!
I really wanted to like Cars & Bids, but…
I really wanted to like Cars & Bids as a seller, but I’ve tried twice and failed to sell. They push you as a seller to have a really low reserve, if at all. In both cases, I ended up selling my car on Autotrader within a couple of days for higher than the price where my auctions ended without selling. Maybe the experience is better as a buyer, but you do have to pay a 5% buyer’s fee.
Great car enthusiast auction site that doesn’t ask you to bring anything!
Buying experience was excellent, and they offer useful services to help with a secure transaction for busy people.
Great audience of trustworthy and…
Great audience of trustworthy and credible buyers that are looking for good cars. It was a great experience for me as a seller. The detailed photos and description helped provide buyers with the confidence to bid on a car via an auction site. The audience on this site even provided a lot of detail on how rare my car was and that it looked like a great car. I could not be happier with the experience
Most legit car auction site
Most legit car auction site. Designed for gear heads by gear heads. Easy. Seller pays no fee. That doesn't happen when you sell your house!!
Surprisingly smooth experience
Surprisingly smooth experience. Selling a car on your own isn't always the easiest. There's the titling issue, dealing with wishy-washy buyers. But this was about as streamlined as it could get. I would absolutely use this again and probably will.
Great Experience Overall
The overall experience was great! The only thing I wish is that my auction specialist provided more guidance and pointers during the auction.
Wonderful trustworthy site to sell your…
Wonderful trustworthy site to sell your enthusiast vehicle. My first time selling a car was simple and easy, thanks to the guidance of my auction manager. The community is positive and I received top dollar for my enthusiast car - more than I would have on the open market. On top of that, Sellers don't pay any fees! Highly recommend!
Overall experience was good
Overall experience was good, but it wasn’t 100% clear to me the differ aspects of the sale and who handled. It felt like trustpilot was trying to be integrated with Cars & Bids yet still operated by themselves.
Damage misrepresentation RPF Motorcars
I encourage everyone to exercise due diligence and ask detailed questions before placing a bid. Unfortunately, my experience with the seller RPF Motorcars in Auburn, CA was disappointing. The G500 I purchased was described in the listing as having an “indentation on the tailgate,” but upon delivery, it had significant damage to the tailgate that was far more extensive than represented.
I have also been unable to obtain resolution through Cars & Bids regarding this matter. My advice to prospective buyers is to thoroughly vet the seller as carefully as the vehicle itself. Request comprehensive photos, videos, documentation, and clarification on any noted imperfections before committing.
Proceed carefully and best of luck to all buyers.
I would happily provide photos of the damage.

A great selling experience from start to finish
The process was straightforward and I received excellent support throughout the process. The Safepay option really convinced me to sell on Cars & Bids. For selling a car online, I can’t imagine why anyone would sell anywhere else.
Great platform for selling a vehicle
Great platform for selling a vehicle. Super easy process.
Very helpful staff.
Extremely happy with how easy the entire experience was!
Selling a vehicle can be very stressful and answering ridiculous questions can get annoying. Not the case with Cars&Bids.
Thanks guys!
Best experience ever selling a car!
Entire process was seamless and high value. The tech support was 100% to ensure car details were clear, honest, and enticing for buyers. Escrow style transaction was assuring and simplistic to transfer title and cash. Highly recommend this is the way to sell an enthusiast car with so many followers gaining a nation wide market opportunity for top dollar sells.
