FAQs
Who are you, and why should I trust Bid & Win Auto?
With over 15 years in the car business, we’ve worked primarily on the wholesale side, buying and selling vehicles at scale with auctions, dealers, and industry partners across the country.
Now, we’re bringing that same experience to the public. Bid & Win Auto was built for car owners who want a fast, fair, and professional way to sell — without games or guesswork.
How does it work?
It’s simple:
1. Fill out our online form — tell us about your car (year, make, model, VIN, mileage, condition, etc.)
2. Get a preliminary offer within 24–48 hours
3. Schedule an in-person evaluation at a convenient time
4. Get paid — securely, once everything is finalized
No pressure. No obligations.
What types of vehicles do you buy?
We buy a wide range of vehicles, from newer models and daily drivers to older cars, high-mileage vehicles, motorcycles, and more.
If you’re not sure whether we’d be interested, just send us the info. We’ll let you know quickly.
Will you buy my car if it has damage or an accident history?
Yes — we buy cars that have been in accidents or need minor reconditioning, as long as the damage is accurately disclosed.
We’ll review the vehicle details and photos, and factor the condition into our offer. Just be honest and detailed — the more we know upfront, the better we can price it.
Can I sell my car if I still owe money on it?
Absolutely. We handle vehicles with loans all the time.
We’ll help coordinate the payoff amount with your lender, and once the deal is finalized:
• If our offer is more than your loan, you keep the difference
• If it’s less, you simply cover the remaining balance
We’ll guide you through it step by step.
What if I lost the title?
No problem. Most states allow you to request a duplicate title, and we’ll walk you through that process. In some cases, we can proceed with alternative documentation.
Do you buy leased vehicles?
Yes. We’ll contact your lease provider to get the buyout amount, and we’ll take it from there. Just let us know when submitting your form if the car is leased.
How will I get paid?
You’ll get paid on the spot — either by check or direct deposit, depending on what works best for you. Direct deposit is often faster and more secure.
How does the inspection work?
We’ll set up an in-person evaluation after you accept your preliminary offer. These are quick and straightforward, and help us confirm everything before we finalize payment.
Do I have to bring my car in?
Yes — we’ll coordinate a convenient time and place for your in-person inspection. We don’t offer vehicle pickups at this time, but we’ll make the process easy and fast.
How long does the process take?
Most sellers receive an offer within 24–48 hours. After the in-person evaluation, payment is processed right away. You can complete the entire sale in as little as 1–3 business days.
What if I got a better offer from somewhere else?
Got a written offer from CarMax, Carvana, or someone else? Show it to us — we’ll do our best to match or beat it, and in some cases, we’ll even offer a bonus just for giving us the final shot.
Is there any obligation to sell once I get an offer?
Not at all. Getting an offer is 100% free and there’s zero obligation to move forward. You’re in control the entire time.
How long is your offer valid?
Our offers are valid for 7 days unless otherwise noted. If something changes (like mileage or condition), we may need to re-evaluate, but we’ll always be upfront with you.
Do you take trade-ins?
Not at this time — we currently focus on purchasing vehicles outright. Trade-in options may be offered in the future.
What documents do I need to sell my car?
Typically, you’ll need:
• A valid government-issued ID
• The vehicle title or loan/lease payoff details
• Your registration
• The odometer reading
• All available keys/remotes
