Cars & BidsReviews of carsandbids.com

CAB (carsandbids.com) is focused on the buyer all the way, l yet without their free inventory they'd have nothing. I tries selling an amazing low-mile 2009 Aston Martin DBS on CAB. My asking price during the submission was $160,000. CAB said the value of the car is somewhere between $150k and $155k, and hence would accept the car if the reserve was $150k. I obliged and we set the reserve at $150k because they assured me the car would have successful results on their site. $97,496 was the high bid. The car was bashed on their site by a load of wannabe sour non-buyer critics. And, CAB supported the critics through their comments in the post. Not one positive push for the car - all for the bashers. Why?...I think it was to ensure a sale commission for them by trying to convince me, pressure me, after the auction that I should accept $97,469 based on "the market has spoken". As a seller CAB showed their true colors to me and I will never need to beckon their doors again. Think about this...why would they have told me to have the reserve at $150k? By the way another exact car sold on CAB just a few months ago for $151,000. Hmmmm.

Pretty bad experience overall. My car got sold, but the buyer did not move forward with the sale. They really need to vet buyers better; it was a waste of time for myself and other bidders. If you’re looking for a reliable platform like eBay for cars, look elsewhere.

Hello, I was trying to sell my car on Cars and Bids and I went through all the processes to get it on their site and it took about a month to square everything away before they put it up on their website. Once the car was live, people started bidding, cool. A week later, someone put in a winning bid of 7200. I start talking to them and then they eventually back out of the sale because of an emergency they have to deal with, so I have the buyer send an official email stating that they're backing out of the sale so that cars and bids can reach out to the under bidders or put it up for auction again. They decide not to put it up for auction again, but decide to contact the underbidders, cool. The underbidders didn't want the car, so my car did not sell on their site. That's fine. However, the part that bothers me is that their website says that the car has been sold when it has not been sold. If I try to sell my car, I have to explain to potential buyers that I did not sell my car on cars and bids, they just left the car on their site as sold because they can. That makes it look like I'm trying to scam them. Like I'm trying to double-sell a car or something. So I asked cars and bids to remove my car from their website because it has not been sold on their website and I don't want it there. They say no because they don't remove any past sales from their site, at all, even if the car has not been sold. If this has happened to me, then who else has this happened to? How many of these cars on their website have been "sold" but did not sell? This makes them look great because it increases their statistics of how many cars they have sold, but how many cars have they actually sold? It decreases the credibility of their site. I went to their site cause of their reputation but now I feel like I was scammed and they're the only winner in this situation because they get to add a "sold" car to their list and they get a buyer fee, which they offered half to me since the buyer backed out, but isn't guaranteed, if the buyer does a chargeback. And the buyer, since they backed out of the sale, which happened for emergency reasons, is "permanently" banned from their site. I want my car removed from the site because if you search the car's VIN on Google, the first thing that pops up is my car on the cars and bids website. I spent so much money to potentially sell my car there and now I still own my car and they say that it has been sold.

They deleted my review of a seller that had threatened violence against my family.

It pains me a little to write this review because I sold a car on cars and bids last year and had a positive experience. But that’s primarily because I’m an honest person and went through the process in a transparent and upfront way, like I would expect other sellers to do. Unfortunately, I recently had a very poor experience with cars and bids on the buying end. I purchased a BMW M6 convertible in May 2024 and the condition of the car was (in my opinion) intentionally misrepresented on the auction. I paid market value for the car assuming it was in drivable condition, given the age, miles and description of the car on the auction. I shipped the car to Pennsylvania from Florida ($1,200) to a BMW dealership only to find out it needed $14,000 in deferred maintenance and repairs to even pass inspection. It didn’t even have a muffler on it, and the check engine light was on! That wasn’t disclosed in the auction. I reached out to cars and bids and they initially seemed like they were going to work to reach a reasonable resolution, but in the end they just sent me a boilerplate disclaimer and said there’s nothing they’re willing to do and it’s “buyer beware”.… I suggested at the very least they should offer to refund my $1,100 purchase fee. They said they would not do that, and offered a “goodwill” gesture of 50% of that fee. In my opinion, they don’t do enough to make sure the sellers are representing their product accurately, and when the buyer gets “hoodwinked”, they do nothing to try to remedy the situation. I don’t know how big the employee staff is at cars and bids, but after watching Doug Demuro on YouTube reviews for the last six or seven years, I would think he would be embarrassed and ashamed to know the clients on his website are having experiences like this with no effort on his company’s part to rectify situations like this.

scam site i won a car listing had no problems listed other than a few small cosmetic problems i get there 4 hours away the windshield is broken oil leak grinding sounds when running timing belt was old after sell said it was new so i did not buy the car c&b response was take it or get banned and lose the fee its a real scum outfit save your time and money.

It’s a fake car auction site, or a bunch of uneducated biders. I have seen some cars sale for over 4000 dollars past KBB dealers pricing. And yet if you make a comment about that, they censored you, but they allow others to make comments like “how great the cars, is” or make cute comments, yet they aren’t bidding. Stay AWAY FROM THIS SITE, IT IS GARBAGE, Save your MONEY AND LOOK ELSEWHERE ,

What a joke of a company. Said my car isn't what they look for yet they have the same exact ones listed on the site. Guess they don't like it when someone actually knows the value of their car and they can't scam them outta money
