Straight Garbage!
I own the number one automotive company in the state of North Carolina and from time to time I sell cars too. I’ve been doing this for 30+ years and I am not about to have some AI generated morons tell me what I am going to sell my cars for. Further more to reject many of my listings because I refuse to take a loss on my cars is ridiculous. On top of that EVERY ONE of my listings were rejected because Bids and Cars DEMANDED I sell at a no reserve. As if that isn’t bad enough did you know as a buyer you will have to pay more than $1500 to the company Bids and Cars if you win? Did you know if you don’t pay them they will take the money out of your account without you knowing and claim they had a right to do so based on their terms and conditions? Yup that’s right. Steer clear of this scam site. Unless you enjoy having them tell you how you’re going to list your car, modify your listing based on what THEY believe your listing should look and sound like, don’t mind the high probability on taking a MASSIVE loss in profits because they DEMAND you do not set a reserve price…then we’ll by all means use em. Their customer service takes more than 24 hours to reply back and this has been consistently constant every time I’ve messaged them so don’t expect a fast reply. Even their chat bots take more than 24 hours. So screw Bids and Cars! I won’t ever use them again!

Hi John,
We're sorry to hear that you're unsatisfied with your experience on Cars & Bids. We've requested more information through Trustpilot so we can best address your specific vehicles and experiences.
Our very human intake team reviews every car submitted to us carefully, and works with sellers to set a reserve (sometimes no reserve) that best serves the car and is likely to result in a sale. Bidders on Cars & Bids have confidence that if the car reaches a market-appropriate price, it will sell. This brings bidders confidence to bid, and without knowledge that the car will sell bidders often don't bother - as we've seen on numerous competitor platforms and in tests we've run ourselves.
Sometimes sellers have a different estimation of a market-appropriate reserve, and we work with those sellers to find common ground. In the event we can't, we wish the seller the best of luck selling their car elsewhere.
As for our buyer's fees - we offer the lowest buyer's fee on the market, and the clearest education about them during our bidding process. Bidders are shown their buyer's fee amount when they bid, and we keep it simple: 4.5% with a minimum of $225 and a maximum of $4500.
Our support is 100% human, and we're sorry you got the impression that you interacted with AI or bots.
Again, we're sorry to hear that you're unsatisfied with your experience on Cars & Bids. Please provide more information through Trustpilot, or contact us at [email protected] so we can better understand what occurred.

You will be taken care of
I initially had concerns about selling my car online through an auction, but am glad I chose to do so.
The team at Cars and Bids was extremely flexible, transparent, and responsive throughout the entire process which equated to a quick sale at the week of my choosing.
Chris M. was the lead for my listing.
Chris demonstrated exceptional proficiency and professionalism throughout the entire process and remained in contact with me after the auction concluded to ensure the sale was finalized between myself and the buyer.
I will be requesting Chris to oversee the listings of my additional sales in the future through Cars and Bids.

Awful website
Awful website. Buyers don't pay if they don't like the price, sellers don't sell if they don't like the price, and it's up to the buyer and seller to do everything. What do you get for your 4.5%? Some nut like the community manager Zach that will ban you for no reason.

Hi B,
We're sorry to hear that you're unsatisfied with your experience on Cars & Bids. We've reached out through Trustpilot for your contact information so we can thoroughly review what led to this experience.
With that said, bids are a binding commitment to purchase, and failure to follow through is both incredibly rare, and pursued by our team to the highest possible degree. Likewise, listing your car on Cars & Bids is a commitment to sell the car at or above the reserve amount, or at the final bid price if the listing is No Reserve.
If you have any details you would like to share about your experience, email us from the address used on your C&B account at [email protected]

First time I’ve ever bought a car and it was easy!
Loved how the seller was super detailed and had records on the car, also super helpful during the process definitely would read about the 4.5% of the car worth that is a separate transaction from the car purchase I know some people can’t read but other than that it was great def worth trying!

I recently sold my 1991 Mazda Miata…
I recently sold my 1991 Mazda Miata through Cars & Bids. As a long-time fan of Doug DeMuro's YouTube channel, I decided to give his auction platform a try after reading several positive reviews and I’m glad I did.
The entire process went smoothly and was well-organized. Once I reached out to Cars & Bids, an auction specialist contacted me promptly. They were available through SMS messages and the website and guided me step by step, from taking the right photos to providing all the necessary details about my classic car. This made it easy to get my listing up and running, and they gave me confidence that the auction would be successful.
During the auction, I had the ability to interact directly with the Cars & Bids community, including potential buyers. This feature allowed me to answer questions and engage with bidders, which likely contributed to the strong interest in my car. It was especially entertaining because people from my small town were commenting on the auction in a positive way.
One of the biggest perks was knowing that I’d keep 100% of the auction price, as Cars & Bids doesn’t have a seller fee. After the auction closed, the platform made the post-sale process straightforward by facilitating the transaction through SafePay, which adds an extra layer of security and convenience.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with my experience on Cars & Bids. The platform is user-friendly, the support team was there for me, and the community engagement helped create a successful sale. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to sell their enthusiast vehicle.
