The C B response to my concern is a

The C B response to my concern is a flat out lie The Carfax showed the Audi was previously stolen The info was on C B own site That s where I saw it Ow they claim it was Carfax clean That s just not true Show me the clean Carfax because the one listed on your site said it was a theft recovery in 2012

Bought a Vehicle but it went bad

Bought a Porsche on their site and went to pick up the vehicle and it was totally misrepresented The pictures were all taken in a way to hide flaws I also had engine issues also There was also a big scratch that happened after the auction started and the seller did not notify me Cars and bids offered no support and said just try to work it out Beware you have been warned

First and last time using them to sell a car

First time using them and this will be the LAST Seller point of view First of all they took almost 3 weeks for my EV to listed they said this will be the best outcome for my vehicle They low ball you and convince you to lower your reserve minimum you will accept once the bidding is over they said lower reserves get better outcomes and usually sell much more than the reserve It sold for a little over 1k above the reserve I was shooting to get at least 8k more than the reserve Lastly I did not see them promote my vehicle at ALL I follow them on FB and IG and not once they promoted my truck In summary try to sell your car on your own you will be better off

You are making a mistake bidding on

You are making a mistake bidding on cars on this site They are scammers You bid and give them 250 to bid but if you don t win they don t return your money They keep all the bidders 250 plus the final winner Not a bad scam Which auction does that It is a scam My suggestion is do your homework before you do anything

no buyers fee refund even if seller might be a scammer

I bid on a Rolls Royce and won the auction Then I flew across the country to view the car after winning because I didn t want to wire a large amount to a stranger without first viewing the car paperwork There were a lot of red flags so I decided to not finalize the deal I still had to pay the 4500 buyers fee Cars Bids did not care that the deal did not go through I guess that explains why they have an F with the Better Business Bureau Needless to say I will not be making my future car purchases with them

They dictate Reserves or Hate Reserves

We tried to list a brand new clean titled 2023 fully loaded Ford Bronco Wildtrak which are hard to come by even at dealerships This is the highest trim level outside of the more elusive Raptor We listed the reserve for 1000 over MSRP and they want us to list it 11 000 plus below MSRP We bought one car as a buyer in the past now we will not use this site for nothing For a company that started only 3-4 years ago they are i guess happy with how many cars they list and sell This Bronco is titled with only 125 of which 87 miles were done by Ford and the dealership We put a few miles to drive home and trailered the rest to have a few modifications added They try to string arm us to reserve it well below i mean more than 11k below MSRP No dealerships sell at MSRP unless you placed the orderReply to statement below You are seriously delusional I know for a fact Raptors are selling for 20k over MSRP They are hard to come by Ford isbt not up to true production levels in any trim levels except the lower base models you sell

Rejected My Car and Non Communitive on Reserve

Very slow and non-specific communication I have been in the auto business for 53 years I buy and sell mostly collectible classic and high-performance cars I have sold numerous cars on BringATrailer This is the first car I submitted to Cars and Bids It was a friends car that I was helping him sell They didn t accept it said it didn t fit I asked why They said Miles automatic It was a 1999 with 65000 miles 2700 miles per year I guess was too high I asked 3 times what they thought the Reserve should be No answer Sad but I guess they are happy with what business they have Good I won t be using them

My advice sell on you own

Don t leave it to the experts when it comes to scheduling the auction My advice would be not to have your auction run during a holiday weekend and request an end time for the auction after 5 pm when ordinary working people can actually participate Be aware that they won t allow you to contact an interested party that missed the closing moments of the auction even if your reserve isn t met

No explanation on why rejecting my car

I tried to post a vehicle and I always get this response Hey Ricardo thank you for submitting your i3 we really appreciate it We are focusing on a specific set of vehicles that we think best fits our community Your BMW looks great and we appreciate you sending it but will need to pass for now Thank you again for your submission and please consider us for another sale in the future Every time I ask why they stop replying to my msgs so communication stops there My vehicle is a 2017 BMW i3 clean tile and paid off But they don t provide me with a reason why don t I tried to post the car 2 times and nothing My car is not special or a specific vehicle Cars and bids post a range of different cars including BMW i3 so why not my car
