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

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 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.

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.

Everything worked perfectly

Everything worked perfectly. The whole process of them verifying everything on the side of me selling, makes me confident on buying a car from CARS & BIDS.Everything went smoothly! The fact that they double-check everything on my end as I’m selling gives me peace of mind when I’m buying a car from CARS & BIDS.

Hello Cars & Bids Team,

Hello Cars & Bids Team,
Thank you for the note and for the opportunity to sell my vehicle on your platform. This was my first experience with Cars & Bids, and I did ultimately accomplish my objective of completing a successful sale.
That said, I wanted to share some feedback from a seller’s perspective. While I appreciated the visibility and reach of the platform, I found that a number of inquiries during the auction felt more like “tire-kicking” than genuine buyer interest. Several questions appeared obvious based on the listing details, did not merit a response, or were not pertinent to the vehicle itself. A few comments also seemed intended more to devalue the car than to add meaningful information for prospective buyers, which was frustrating at times.
Despite those challenges, the experience concluded on a very positive note. Meeting the eventual buyer was a pleasant, polite, and professional interaction, and the transaction itself was smooth. In the end, that made the overall experience worthwhile, even with the effort required to respond to some superfluous commentary during the auction.
I appreciate the Cars & Bids team and community and hope this feedback is helpful as you continue to refine the seller experience. I would certainly consider the platform again in the future.
Best regards,
John Dotson

Easier than a Dealership

The most straightforward selling experiences ever! Communicative, knowledgeable, & friendly staff. Surprisingly easy submission process, quick easy selling process. My trade in offer was $1100, Cars & Bids got me $4100. Better than selling on the street, easier than buying at a dealership. Would (and will) absolutely use again! 10/10.
