  • 5.0For a first-time online car buying experience, it was as seamless and secure as possible. The community around Cars & Bids inspires trust and I was happy to experience it. George N, Jun 2026
  • 5.0That was probably the easiest selling experience I have had in my lifetime. Cars and Bids did an excellent job of communicating all the steps necessary for the successful sale of my 1971 Datsun 240z. I would definitely recommend selling your classic or exotic car with Cars and Bids! Kevin B, May 2026
  • 5.0Communication was quick and easy, and it pushed my auction to a true enthusiast market that knew the value of my car and was willing to pay what they thought it was worth! That excited me and earned me a sale with less stress and a higher selling value quicker than any other platform would have allowed me to achieve. I was nervous about a no reserve auction, but it paid off greatly in the end. Eli D, May 2026
  • 5.0Selling a car here was easier than I thought it would be, and I definitely got thousands more than a trade-in would have offered. Kyle C, Nov 2025
  • 5.0It takes a bit of time to setup with photos and what not but the over all experience and ease of listing a car on cars and bids has me rethinking selling a car else where ever again haha. Arthur D, Dec 2025
  • 5.0Superb experience in every respect! Joe C, Dec 2025

How do you choose which cars you’re looking for?

We’re focused on cool cars, trucks, and SUVs for the modern enthusiast. If you’re looking to sell a cool car, we might be interested in listing it. Our definition of “cool” ranges from traditional sports cars (Mazda MX-5 Miata, Porsche 911) to oddball vehicles (Subaru BRAT, Infiniti M30, Volvo 850R) to more obvious high-performance sports cars (Porsche Cayman R, Ferrari 360 Modena) to special trucks and SUVs (Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Land Rover Defender). We don’t list every car we’re offered, but we’re certainly interested in your submission to see if it’s a good fit for Cars & Bids.

How do I submit my car for sale?

To submit your car for sale, go to the “Sell a Car” link in the header. In order to sell your car, you’ll need to provide us with some important information – like the make, model, year, VIN, a few photos, and some other relevant details. If we’re interested in selling your car, we’ll get in touch with you. Then we’ll ask you for a more detailed set of questions so we can make sure our auction description is accurate.

What is a Reserve Auction vs. a No Reserve Auction?

Reserve Auction – A reserve auction has a secret minimum price that you’ll accept in order to sell your car. If your reserve isn't met, the car does not sell. We'll work with you to agree on a fair reserve price during the submission process.

No Reserve Auction – An auction without a reserve means that the car will sell to the highest bidder at the end of the auction regardless of price. We've found that cars offered with no reserve get more bids, more interest, and more attention.

What information do I need to provide in order to sell my car?

We start with just the basics: we can let you know if we’ll accept your car if you just give us the make, model, year, VIN, some photos, and a few other details. If we accept your car based on this information, we’ll then need to gather more details – we’ll ask about your history with the car, features, and other items that help us craft our listing.
