A Better BidReviews of abetter.bid

Using a middleman to buy from CoPart was obviously going to be a bad experience but somehow ABetterBid surprised me with just how bad they were. I got to pay ABetterBid $933 on top of the $8700 bid/Copart fees for the services that included having to bid via email instead of a web interface, aggressive sales tactics including invoices I didn't agree to that included charges for their overpriced shipping company, not being allowed to pick up the vehicle myself despite CoPart being totally fine with that (So I have to pay an extra $300 for a tow service), and now a nearly 2 month delay on ownership documents where the only updates I've gotten are when I've reached out. I still don't have any documents from them despite picking the vehicle up on December 19 and it's now February 4. Their FAQ indicated that I would "receive your ownership documents within 2–5 weeks." I emailed them after about 3 weeks and didn't get anything useful. I've followed up multiple times and just gotten delay tactics with missed update time lines. I was planning on waiting until I had a resolution to the story before posting a review but at this point they're so impressively bad that I have to at least share something. I'm also curious to test out if they manage to cull bad reviews as there's no way they deserve the nearly 5 star rating they have. Just a quick skim of Reddit/other forums shows just how poor of an experience most people have with them.

This was a very good experience. They are a top line company and I would recommend anyone looking for a descent car to use them.

I'm glad I double checked reviews prior to giving these cons a dime. They force you to use their in house delivery on top of their outrageous broker fees (I suggest finding a smaller broker to save some $). They wanted to charge me $340 for shipping on a small sedan when I live 5 minutes from the lot. Ridiculous.

I have to admit I personally didn't read all the details entirely when the vehicle was purchased. A purchase agent handled the initial transaction. I now see the company does state 2 to 5 weeks for delivery and they are within their rights. I apologize to Abetterbid for the rating and hope I can give a higher rating if they honor the time limits.

this is scam i purchased 3800 car price they Have charged almost 1000 in bunch fees and second time over 500 in fees for a purchased of 3800 im paying over 1500 in fees plus they Not allow me pick up the car they are charging over 600 on transportation total over 6000 before Bid be very carefully Buy in A Better Bid Car Auctions website

Trustworthy company always someone to help out , shipping is coordinated and fast .

The car was advertised as having minor damage, but that was completely false. I relied on their auction listing, their EPICVIN report, and their overpriced transport service, and every single one of them turned out to be misleading. The vehicle delivered was a total junk, nothing like what was advertised. The VIN report they provided was useless and failed to show publicly available information about the car’s real condition. To make matters worse, the transporter brought the car anyway—causing even more damage to the gear—and refused to communicate properly. I repeatedly asked for his phone number so he could describe the actual damage before delivery. He never provided it, and he was the only person who could have prevented this disaster. Avoid this company at all costs.

Have a lawsuit Against these guys!! Don’t let them fool you!! Do what whatever it takes even lawyer up if you have to.
