Car starts but not drivable
Car delivered. Wife took it for. drive. Smelled bad and had to pull over. Got it towed to service and Boxster won't hold oil or coolant. This platform needs a way to protect buyers. The owner/mechanic said the pre-purchase inspection was negligent and documents to show repairs were 50% complete. Mechanic said don't drive it until repairs are made which will cost $2,500 just so it holds oil and coolant. Other repairs documented I got estimates on and knew I would inherit that but expected a car that was driavle - not just start.

First time seller on the auction website. The entire experience - from submission to post auction - was a fantastic experience. The team at C&B were also amazing - answering chats and emails with great clarity and always in a timely manner. I will not only use C&B in the future, but would highly recommend to others that are considering selling /buying vehicles on this platform.

Cars and Bids is a horrible company
Cars and Bids is a horrible company. We agreed on a reserve. I worked for two weeks cleaning my car, taking pictures and videos for them to change it at the last minute. Thanks for wasting my time cars and bids! You've done this twice. Not a fan!

Using Cars & Bids was the easiest and most rewarding method of selling a car I ever had. I got top dollar and the process and experience couldn't be easier. SafePay service for closing the deal was even easier, and I never worried about scams or problems. Cars and Bids gets my highest recommendation, and selling my next car will be on Cars and Bids!

The fact that you get a specific CSR to guide you through the selling process is key. As well, everyone at C&B is welcoming, professional, friendly and is interested in ensuring you have a good experience. Additionally, C&B is borne out of the Doug Demuro's YouTube friendly community, and it shows in the auction There's a lot of positivity in the comments. On my auction, a bidder, wished everyone well.

Customer service was excellent
Customer service was excellent, when there was a question after sale it was addressed promptly or no more 24 hours was resolved. The process is user friendly even for a novice. The program guides you through the process for end to auction to delivery,.

Great for maximizing your value for specific vehicles!
I recently sold my 1997 Mazda Miata on Cars & Bids and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The listing process was easy and straightforward, with helpful guidance from the Cars & Bids team every step of the way. They answered all my questions quickly and made sure my listing looked great.
What impressed me the most was how much exposure my car got. The auction attracted real enthusiasts who truly appreciated the unique qualities of my Miata. Thanks to the competitive bidding environment, I was able to maximize the value and get more than I expected!
Payment was hassle-free, and I had full confidence in the process. If you’re thinking about selling your car, I can’t recommend Cars & Bids enough. Trustworthy, transparent, and genuinely focused on getting you the best result. Five stars!

If you’re looking to buy a cool car, Cars and Bids is a no brainer
There are some companies that just get it. Every step of the way they provide accurate, clear, and helpful info about the cars and the process. They are the go to online specialty car auction for a reason… because they’re trustworthy, transparent and thoughtful! I was legitimately thrilled with buying my first sports car through them (a ‘97 z3),
annnd THIS is why Cars and Bids is an easy 5 star company!

The car-buying experience with a "easy" button.
The online car-buying experience can be a little hot and cold. Accurate descriptions and straightforward responses are always appreciated in correspondence, and I found it in abundance with Cars and Bids from start to finish. I was impressed with how they stepped in after I won my auction and provided assistance at every step of the transaction. Their process was frictionless. I can't wait to try them again.

A Thoughtful and Supportive Platform During a Difficult Time
After my father passed away, I was faced with the emotional task of finding the right home for his beloved 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera. It was more than just a car — it was something he truly cherished, always kept in pristine condition, and drove only on rare, special occasions. I knew I wanted to honor that care by listing it somewhere that would attract genuine enthusiasts, and Cars & Bids turned out to be the perfect place.
From the start, the team was incredibly helpful, respectful, and understanding of the circumstances. They guided me through the listing process with empathy and professionalism, helping me present the car in the best possible light while staying honest and transparent.
Throughout the auction, the community engagement was amazing — people asked thoughtful questions, shared their appreciation, and it genuinely felt like the car was being celebrated. In the end, it sold to someone who truly seemed to value what the car represented, which gave me real peace of mind.
Selling my dad’s car was not easy emotionally, but Cars & Bids made the process smooth, respectful, and even uplifting. I can’t thank them enough for providing a platform that feels built for people who really love cars.
