Affordable Car for My College Kid
April 15, 2026

I wanted to get my son an affordable car for college, and A Better Bid had the perfect solution. I found a 2013 Mazda3 with only minor cosmetic issues and won the auction easily. The final cost was way under what I would've paid at a used car lot. It runs great, and now he has reliable transportation for school. A Better Bid made it simple and budget friendly. If you're buying for affordable vehicles, this is the place to look.

Perfect for finding parts cars
April 12, 2026

I work as a mechanic and often need parts cars for engines or interiors. A Better Bid has been my go to for finding donor cars at unbeatable prices. I can filter listings based on damage type or specific parts I need, which saves tons of time. So far, I've bought three cars and stripped them for parts well worth the price. The photos and VIN reports help me avoid surprises. It's fast, efficient, and a lot cheaper than buying parts individually. Highly recommend!

The variety on A Better Bid is incredible cars! I use their filters to narrow my search easily, and every listing includes detailed photos and info. I've bought a sedan and an ATV so far, and both arrived as expected. The whole process is easy and transparent. Great for anyone who enjoys auctions or wants a deal.

I'm impressed
April 5, 2026

Once I won my car, A Better Bid's shipping team handled everything quickly. I didn't expect such smooth coordination. They scheduled delivery within days, and the car came clean and undamaged. I'm impressed with their efficiency and professionalism.

Auction Thrill from Home.
March 24, 2026

I love the excitement of auctions, and ABB brings that experience online. I placed a few bids on different cars and finally won a 2016 Sonata. It's fun, competitive, and super rewarding when you win. The platform is easy to use, and I enjoy checking listings daily. Great experience.

Every time I check ABB, I'm impressed by how many cars they have. Cars, motorcycles, trucks even boats and RVs. It's the best place to browse if you're unsure what you want but love a deal. I've already bought two cars and one trailer through the platform. Their site is easy to navigate, and the buying process is clear and fast. Whether you're a professional or just looking for a personal car, ABB has something for you.

Safe Online Buying Experience.
March 19, 2026

I was nervous about buying a car online, but A Better Bid gave me peace of mind. Their listings are clear, the VIN checks out, and the photos show everything. I received my 2014 Nissan Altima in exactly the condition shown. A very positive buying experience from start to finish.

A Hidden Gem for Mechanics.
March 17, 2026

As a mechanic, ABB has helped me find great parts cars. I've bought two salvage cars to strip for parts, and both were excellent purchases. It's much cheaper than buying individual components. The listings are detailed, and the photos help me know exactly what I'm getting. This platform saves me time and money.

Well Designed Website
March 17, 2026

A Better Bid's website is fast, easy to navigate, and full of useful filters. I quickly found the type of car I was looking for and placed a bid with no issues. Everything about the user experience is intuitive. One of the best online auction sites I've used.

The ease of use on A Better Bid's site made buying a car surprisingly stress free. It took less than five minutes to register, and every function. From filtering cars to placing bids was clearly explained. They've nailed the design for everyday users.

Everything was explained clearly
March 14, 2026

A Better Bid's transparent pricing made the experience stress free. I knew the exact costs before placing a bid, and they didn't tack on surprise charges later. Everything was explained clearly, and their honesty stood out from other auction sites.

DONT TRUST THE FAKE REVIEWS
***FIND SOMEONE ELSE!***

I have been using A Better Bid llc for a few months now and have purchased a vehicle through them and bid on several others. I WOULD NOT recommend A Better Bid. While they do not outright scam you (at least not yet), they are very shady in their business practices and lie to you consistently. I purchased a vehicle 2 months ago and have yet to receive the title for my vehicle. Every time I call they just say it is coming. They also insisted that I use their shipping service which charged me $500 to ship a vehicle which a regular tow company would charge $100 for. When you fight them on it, they lie to you and say it's mandatory from Copart but when you call Copart or talk with other companies they let you use your own shipping company. Yet they insist on this lie because it makes them money instead of just being honest. Their "customer service" is just a poor lady who answers the phone all day and offers wrong information. For example, to inspect the vehicle you need a basic Copart account but A Better Bid says that's not true, yet if you visit the yard they won't let you in without a Copart account. Just lies and added fees and inconveniences over and over and over again. I had to pay $4k in fees for a $16k vehicle. That's insane! Yeah I got my car shipped to me but for the money I paid and they headache I still have to go through, I highly recommend not using them. It's been 2 months and I still don't have my title and the "company" which supposedly has it has a fake email address as their contact info and a phone number which does not work on their website. What kind of a business is this? How did I end up dealing with such crooks?
Don't make my mistake!
Super shady stuff and I just pray I haven't been scammed more than I already have.

Just look at how fake these 5 star reviews that praise this company look!

Yes they give you the car but if you want to overpay for a simple service and then several months stay up at night praying that you don't get scammed, then go ahead and work with these people.
If not then find someone else, literally anyone else.

Don't play unless you can afford to lose!
I had a great idea to flip cars to try to make some side cash. I decided to invest my savings into this adventure. I completely regret it. I won a 2015 BMW with some body damage for $4000. After the shipping and the fees it was $8100. Still I thought I could make it work. Then I received the car. The pictures were completely misleading. The pictures shown on the website were dated and the car was delivered with additional high school stickers and parking decals on it. This means someone was using the car after they took the pictures. The vehicle had a lot more damage than the pictures showed. The pictures they had were definitely taken at certain angles to avoid the full picture of the damages, and the interior pictures completely skipped the damages to the interior and the computer dash. After multiple emails showing all the documentation they still refused to acknowledge the misrepresentation. I reach ed out to my attorney and he did say I had a strong case, but by the time I paid for everything my only consolidation would be proving a point. I would be out more money fighting than just walking away. It's a sad world we live in when businesses like his take no accountability for deceiving their customers. "AS IS" was their mantra. I strongly recommend if anyone is interested in going to auction, go to your local auction house and avoid online crooks. They are everywhere. Plus I have a feeling they have people bidding on vehicles to up the pricing as many of the vehicles I was looking at came back up to auction after they were won by others days ago. I guess we will never know. Don't play unless you can afford to lose.
