It's legit! don't let the bad reviews scare you I feel like most of the bad reviews are from people who were trying to sell their cars and got rejected, but understand that it is a site made for auto enthusiasts, not a substitute for craigslist. They only sell the cars they deem fit for their market (auto enthusiasts). I bought a car through this site, and had my doubts at first, but the process was easy (wayyyyyy easier than dealing with a dealership or used car lot) and reliable. Now that I know this is an option, I don't see myself going into a dealership ever again.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS They made the mistake of suspending my commenting "privileges" without cause or notice, so here I am on every social media outlet, review site and forum. I purchased one car through C&B but never, EVER again. I'll be taking my money back to the other enthusiast auction website where I'll have a much better experience. Sad!

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

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!

Heavy Handed Censorship As a long time bidder AND buyer on car auction sites like C&B, I've found the input and comments from others both entertaining and valuable. However, C&B's ad hoc deletion of some comments makes my opinion of this site dim considerably. In addition to the bidding process, the banter of car enthusiasts is what makes sites like C&B and BAT exciting, fun, and educational. C&B, however, seems to have an unreasonably heavy handed censorship bent on their site. When I questioned their deletion of others benign comments, they then censored my comments, deleted them, and froze my account! Wow, as a mature and seasoned enthusiast, I find their behavior surprisingly immature in this area.
