Every vehicle here has a price on it. There is no clock and no bidding: you see what the seller wants, ask them anything you need to know, and make an offer when you are ready. Many have been inspected by Carbid, and any that have not say so on the card.

Sellers are still listing. In the meantime there are vehicles on auction, and those you can bid on today.
Browse the auctions →Every listing takes questions. They go to Carbid, we get the answer, and it comes back to you in your account and by email.
Sign in and the seller's phone number is on the listing, so you can arrange a viewing directly. Auction listings do not carry one.
Put an offer in at the asking price or below it. Carbid reviews every offer and tells you either way, so you are never left guessing.
A fixed-price listing has the seller's asking price on it and no clock. Nobody bids against you and nothing expires, so you can take a week to think about it. An auction is timed, the price is set by whoever else turns up, and it ends at a fixed moment. Both kinds are on the same site and many fixed-price vehicles have been through the same Carbid inspection.
On a fixed-price listing, yes, once you are signed in. Sign in and the number is on the page, so you can call and arrange to see the car. Auction listings do not carry one, because on those the auction itself sets the price and a private conversation only works around it.
A phone number on a page open to the whole internet is collected by scrapers within about a week, and the person it belongs to gets the calls forever. An account is the smallest thing we can ask for that makes that not worth doing. It takes a minute and we do not charge for it.
The listing says. Where the seller has marked it negotiable you can offer below it; where they have not, the price is the price. Either way you put your offer in on the vehicle page and our team reviews it, exactly as with an auction offer. We tell you yes or no rather than leaving you waiting.
Until the seller takes it down. There is no expiry date, because a private sale finishes away from the site and nobody tells us the moment it does. If a listing is still up, ask the seller whether the car is still available before you travel to see it.
Yes, on any listing in either mode. Your question goes to Carbid rather than straight to the seller, we get the answer, and it comes back to you in your account and by email. The seller does not see who asked.
