Solid idea! Like others I’m surprised about all the negative comments. I have sold a car a couple of weeks ago and have to say the whole process was really good. I got more than the typical car max quotation and I feel like the buyer also got a good deal. Win win! Their onboarding process takes some time, but if you’re not in any rush this is a great place to sell a car! Customer service was always there for both me and the buyer!

Suspended for posting hidden info about vehicles. So I have been suspended for the site for commenting info that cars and bids is hiding. If they don’t know this information they should maybe fire the people managing the listings. But I’d put $1000 on the spot right now that a court order would show they had it from day one. They have many flagged posts that show hidden. That’s understandable and you can view the hidden post. But anything that is to help the bidders that is purposely hidden from the public is completely deleted. It’s like they don’t realize that cached pages on the internet exist even if the original pages are gone. Even eBay listings that still exists from the seller show cars and bids hiding relevant information. At one point I thought of his website as fair and based on some of the videos Doug has posted about different things I figured what he said on how things operate was true. But apparently it’s all just a huge show to make it look better.

CA DMV tops their customer service I started using the site as a buyer and made a few bids on csrs that interested me but unfortunately, I was not the winning bidder. As an anthusiast, I buy cars where ever I find them, enjoy them from a couple of months to max one year and sell them to get something else. I "applied" to sell a couple of my cars a month apart similar to what the C&B site sold a few weeks prior. In both cases, my cars were rejected with the same "boiler plate" response I assume everyone gets. I replied to get more information about the criteria given two other similar vehicles recently sold on their site and simply got no responses after that. When a business with such bad reviews completely 'ghosts' responses from potential sellers and does not assist buyers as the reviewers claim, it makes sense to be cautious about listing or buying. My guess is they are doing very well to not care about customer service.

Bad service Man, CarsandBids is such a bad service for selling your car. They demand hundreds of photos, are always complaining, and the reserve price often changes, usually for the worse. For example, CarMax offered $4k above the reserve price offered by CarsandBids. I would not recommend them

Cars & Bids (C&B) is an auction site Cars & Bids (C&B) is an auction site. I purchased a vehicle at auction and was charged a commission of 4.5% on Nov6. On Nov 11 i traveled 500 miles to San Diego to inspect the vehicle. The seller refused to allow me to drive the vehicle. Instead the seller took me for a drive in the vehicle. The seller represented that the vehicle had just been serviced and was in perfect condition. I discovered otherwise. Vehicle dashboard lights were flickering and seat massage functions did not work in the Mercedes S560. The vehicle may have had other issues but without driving i could not determine that. The seller's comment was "well you are not a real buyer". I walked away from the deal and C&B refused to refund the $2925.00 they charged to my credit card. How can an auction company keep a commission for a transaction that did not go thru? If a seller misrepresented what was being sold and is dishonest i am not going to purchase the vehicle.
