If you're looking to SELL a car, there are many better places like cars&bids or bringAtrailer. I submitted my 93 Camaro to Rudy at guys with rides and he accepted it. He even put up an early auction preview on his website. The auction was supposed to go live on 5/20 but as of 5/16 I had not heard from him. They're supposed to have a PPi done, hire a photographer and do a few other things prior to the auction going live. On 4/28 I sent in the front and back of both my title and my drivers license as directed. That same day I rec'd an email saying they'd got my email and would be in touch-----> "Thank you for submitting pictures of your Title and Photo ID. We are now working on your ride's listing and will contact you shortly about it. We look forward to helping sell your classic or collector car. Talk soon, Rudy" About 3 weeks go by and I email Rudy asking what's up with the auction that's supposed to go live in a few days? He responds ----------> "A quick update: I don't have a record of you sending me a copy of the title (front and back) as well as a photo ID. I need those to keep my lawyer happy that I've done my due diligence" At that point I realized I'm dealing with someone who doesn't take their job (hobby?) seriously and told him I was going to sell my car elsewhere. There's a reason why guys with rides only ever has 1 or 2 car auction per month. Don't waste your time trying to sell here folks.

From my first contact, I was impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of Rudy Samsel. I, having bought my car through Bring-a-Trailer, felt a lot more comfortable. I would not have been comfortable trying to sell my 1955 Thunderbird with them. Rudy handled the details quickly and thoroughly. The car was inspected and photographed in an objective manner. We ended up compromising at the end of the auction at my suggestion, and the completion was remarkably easy and fast. The auction ended on a Wednesday, I had clear funds on Friday, and the car was picked up professionally on Monday. Cannot ask for anything better. I highly recommend Guys with Rides for anyone - a professional way to go.

Wow! Rudy made it happen! I first met Rudy at a Porsche event in 2022 where we had our Porsche 928s parked next to each other. I had a "For Sale" sign on my windshield. After spending time speaking with Rudy, I was convinced that I would list my car on Guys with Rides. From the beginning Rudy was there to guide me through the tortuous process of selling a car. He helped me establish an asking price that was fair and realistic. He took magnificent pictures and videos of the car in a park-like setting and posted these online. He produced a beautiful write up detailing the history, features, condition, and maintenance details of the car. Based on the pictures and write up, I almost wanted to keep my car of 25 years. Rudy's website attracted the interest of a car collector in Pennsylvania. My interactions with the buyer were extremely positive leading to a mutually agreeable purchase price and pick-up date. Rudy was always available to answer my questions about the agreement of sale, car title, license plates, and ways to ensure a secure payment process. If I ever have another collector car to sell, Guys with Rides is on my priority list. Thank you, Rudy!

I registered on GWR’s auction site to bid on what looked like a beautifully cared for 1987 Porsche 928 S4. While the auction ended with me as high bidder, the seller’s reserve price was not met. Rudy of GWR got involved and helped negotiate a fair price for both parties. I took possession of the car last Thursday and met Phil, the seller and his wife. To say that he has been a great caretaker for the past 25 years of this car would be a gross understatement. I couldn’t be happier.

WOW, what a great experience. I have never used an auction service to sell a car before and am I happy I chose Guys With Rides ("GWR'). Rudy at GWR had my care appraised and gave me a fair indication what my 1972 Nova SS was worth. My car was at auction within a week of the appraisal. The auction was a week before thanksgiving and I was concerned about the timing. Boy was I wrong. I got a very serious bid on my car that didn't quite meet my reserve. Rudy went to work and negotiated a price that satisfied both me and the buyer. Rudy kept in close contact with me after the sale to make sure everything was moving along smoothly. It's been only three weeks since my car was appraised and it has been sold, I have been paid and the car is on it's way to the new owner. I would highly recommend GWR to anyone looking at selling their car. Thank you Rudy for all your help!

Rudy, founder of GwR was instrumental in bringing a superbly cared for 928 S4 to his auction site. Although I was the high bidder at the end, my bid did not meet the seller’s reserve. Rudy jumped into action and over a long Thanksgiving weekend a deal was made to everyone’s satisfaction. That other auction site leaves it up to the hi bidder and seller to try to strike a deal if the sellers reserve isn’t met. More often than not, a deal doesn’t materialize. Having an intermediary (Rudy) certainly helped us get a deal that worked for both of us.

Thanks Rudy. I am very pleased with the way everything was handled to sell my 65 VW. The extra information about "Border Buddy" was very helpful. I was a bit sad when the car was loaded and the truck drove away but I am confident that it went to a good home. I appreciate that you went the extra mile when the final bid was just slightly short of the reserve, you made some calls and made the deal happen.

More a question than a review, how ever, I do enjoy your site and the info that you share, Now my question, why not include a looking for section, as in; I am looking for a 52 Chevie convertible must not be a resto rod, and pref. Power glide & newer 6 up to 300CI 😳 I am betting it will increase your subscribership and bring out some hidden gems. Keep up the great work.
