Great service and will always give you the best price! I had a quote from Lexus for my 2016 CT200H for $13,316 and Bidlane was able to outbid for $13,700. Big shout out to Christian for working overtime to make sure I could sell same day even though we were a bit past closing. Highly recommend taking your car to Bidlane. read more

Unresolved Payment Issue with Bidlane. I recently sold my 2020 Honda Civic Sport to Bidlane on September 2, 2023 at there LAX- Inglewood location and I've been facing significant issues since then. Unfortunately, as of today, September 14, 2023, payment had not been issued for the sale, and my attempts to communicate with Bidlane have been futile. There is no answer when calling and I've emailed multiple times. I received 1 text communication on 9/6/23 from Nicole from the "Bidlane car Buying Center" with a tracking number that reflects no check has been received. This experience has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. When I initially decided to sell my car through Bidlane, I expected a smooth and straightforward transaction. However, the fact that they have not issued payment for the vehicle two weeks after the sale is deeply concerning. I've made multiple attempts to contact Bidlane to inquire about the status of the payment, but I have not received any response or clarification regarding the delay. A check was supposed to be issued but that takes long and via email requested to electronic payment to Honda Finance Exchange Inc. This lack of communication and transparency has left me feeling unsupported and uncertain about the situation. I would have appreciated a more professional and proactive approach from Bidlane in resolving this matter. It's essential for businesses to uphold their commitments and maintain open lines of communication with their customers. I hope that Bidlane can address this issue promptly and provide the payment that is rightfully owed. This experience has left me with a negative impression, and after reviewing the Yelp and google negative reviews you can see the same issue continuously happens at the pay out phase. In will be updating this review as the stirring continues to develop. UPDATE: 9/14/23 10:15am Called over 10 times and was transferred to full voicemail boxes of; Stephanie, Lauren, Nicole or kept getting automatically transferred and hanged up without speaking to anyone. The 2 times I was able to speak to a human was Veronica and Lorena. Lorena claimed I was already called yesterday (9/13/23) by "management" she didn't want to give me a name, stating they have helped me but that was not true because no one called me and claimed its only been 9 business days but the car was sold and handed off with keys on 9/2/2023 (today is 9/14/23). UPDATE: 9/14/23 11:03am Was told by "Nicole" via text the check was sent and handed off by her personally and that USPS misplaced or lost it. However, I was able to verify that they never submitted the check to USPS per the tracking number they provided. I texted back showing her screenshots of me verifying USPS never got anything but pre-shipment info on 9/7/23. UPDATE: 9/14/23 11:43am Got a text response from Nicole, re-stating the check was handed personally be her self and the check was misplaced or lost on USPS end. Claimed that she will open a claim or re-issue a new check. She said she will follow up by the end of day today 9/14/23. UPDATE: 9/14/23 12:53pm I called USPS my self. Verified that only a electronic notice was sent to USPS on 9/7/23 and nothing was dropped off. At 1:06pm I sent a text to Nicole informing her of my findings and sent a screenshot to back up my findings that USPS has never taken possession of the alleged Check that was claimed to be dropped off personally. UPDATE 9/19/23 Its Tuesday, haven't gotten a call back from "Nicole" who said she was going to contact me yesterday Monday with an update they they check was going to be re-issued. read more

Pro: They offered me more $ than I expected and they did pay eventually. Con: They take your vehicle without payment and make you sign a contract that you will be paid in about 7 days. Spoiler alert: They don't pay in 7 days. They avoid your calls and emails for weeks. They only responded after I threatened multiple times to go down to their office with a camera and make them famous. Finally "Susan" emailed me saying that my bank info was wrong and that they had tried to wire the money but it didn't work. That was a lie. My bank info was correct. After another week of threats and emails, they FINALLY wired me the money. Took about 3 weeks. Use your best judgement on this place. Not sure if it's a scam or not since I got paid, but also not sure if they only paid because I threatened them. read more

Hands down the worst place you can sell you car. This is basically a consignment shop with no money. All the reviews are a 100% paid for. In my experience, they said they will wire in 10 days. Well 10 days came and went. I followed up everyday - everyday they were chasing it down. I got paid day 16 and through a check from a company that has a history of bouncing checks. All the time the guy bought the car kept trying to deflect me to someone else to chase MY money down. You can sell your car anywhere - the question you should ask yourself before selling to these guys is if you need money. If you do, take 300 less and go to car max.

Be very very careful with this company. Yes, they will give you a few hundred $ more than CarMax. However, getting your money is a completely different story. Look at all the positive reviews, it's about the experience selling the car, and not about actually getting the payment after selling them the car. I sold my car on 8/11/2023 with a contracted wire transfer deposit date of 8/18/2023. Received text messages on 8/21 and 8/22 wire transfer submitted. No money ever showed up. Email their support on 8/24 inquired where is the money, they responded that they will "Please let me look into this with the bank and resolve within 24 hours." Still nothing. Now I have to file a legal lawsuit just to get the money they already owe, 3 weeks after I sold the car. Avoid this company, it's not worth the extra few hundred dollars to chase them down and deal with the hassle of filing a lawsuit to get your money. read more

I had an overall positive experience selling my car to Bidlane. Victor was very professional, friendly, patient, and explained their process thoroughly. I was happy enough with the offer I got for my 2015 Mazda 6 which was in excellent condition. The inspection and paperwork didn't take long. I would recommend this business to a friend. Thanks so much, Victor! Note: Payout is not instantaneous here (takes a couple of weeks) but they take care of all the filing to the DMV for you and you get full copies of all the paperwork. 1/11 update - Payment is taking forever. They were not proactive in reaching out when the wire transfer failed, and I had to reach out to customer service several times to follow up over the course of 2 weeks. I would not recommend this business. read more

It's so crazy how fast it is to sell a car. I entered my car through Bidlane.com, they texted me, I drove to the closest location at LAX, Ulysses was quick to work with and I sold my car. From start of submitting my car online on my couch to signing papers to wire money, was 2 hours! It was so quick and easy , I'm telling all my friends to forget private sellers, caravans and carmax. Just sell to Bidlane! It was bitter sweet to say goodbye to my awesome Toyota, but I have to many kids and need more space. read more

Patrick and his team over at Bidlane did a phenomenal job of helping me find value out of my trusty 2006 Honda Accord. Especially considering my car was hit by catalytic converter thieves, I felt I was never going to get something out of the car, as other locations either gave me sad offers or flat out rejected the car (dang thieves). Patrick really took the time to make sure we could get the most out of the value, and beat CARMAX's quote by quite a bit. Additionally, they helped my mother sell her car many years ago, and she had fantastic service. I highly recommend this business read more

Bid Lane - This was my car I sold to Bidlane - Car Buyers Near Me - Inglewood, California

Selling a car can be just as daunting as buying one, imo. I thought about selling it privately for a hot minute, but wasn't sure if I could afford the effort/hassle that comes with that (listing, scheduling, dealing w/ multiple buyers, haggling , etc.). I first went to CarMax for an appraisal. They discovered an issue so I was quoted much lower than their initial online estimate. While processing that surprise news, I decided to get a second appraisal to make sure the issue was legitimate. I'm so glad I got connected w/ Christian at Bidlane. He affirmed and kindly walked me through the aforementioned issue AND he worked w/ me to beat the initial offer. I could tell he wasn't trying to nickel & dime me. It was such a pleasant experience.. almost like selling my car to a trusted friend. I can't recommend this company enough. Thank you, Christian for your customer service today!! read more

Bid Lane - Car sold! - Car Buyers Near Me - Inglewood, California

As usual, I think everyone stops at Carmax first to get their car appraised due to the friendly customer service and the simple / tangle-free online experience. BUT -- don't let the lipstick fool you!! BIDLANE (not sure I'm a fan of the name, but it doesn't matter, they do WORK) Los Angeles has equally competent and wonderfully pleasant employees and their entire reason for existing is to post up next to Carmax locations across the region, and BEAT their prices. I traded in my 2008 C300 for $4,250 without any hassle and a quick inspection (less than 5mins). BIDLANE really made this experience seamless and even will request & expedite the title from the CA DMV if you do not have it on you (at a fee). Would definitely return here for all my car selling needs :) read more

Wasted our time. Door was locked and person was at lunch when we arrived. Good thing we stuck around for extra 5 minutes for him to open up. Worst part is the offer in-person after appraisal was $3k less than online offer, which is what the dealers offer and everyone knows those are the lowest offers. This is even though the condition checked out and all the paperwork was presented and in order. He tried to tell us that he could do a dealer auction to get us the best price but no matter what he did, the offer was still way off. Even he knew it sucked and he didn't hesistate to let us leave to go to Carmax. Went next door to Carmax and got exactly what was quoted online, which was $2k above Bidlane's. Guess you better hope for Martin or Maggie to serve you at Bidlane based on all the other rave reviews if you don't want to be disappointed. read more

I wanted to sell my Prius and did a few online quotes along with KBB to see what I could get for it. In the process, I stumbled across Bidlane. I brought it by for a quote and they didn't lie... It really only took about 15-20 min and that was without an appointment. Patrick was super helpful and kind. He answered all my questions. The quote initially came back incredibly low. He made a few calls and was able to get it increased by $1500! I needed some time to shop around and he was very understanding of that. He asked if he could check in the following day (rather than just harassing me without consent) and I agreed. I went next to CarMax for a quote. They took 2 1/2 hours to do what BidLane did in 15 min. Their quote was $500 more than Bidlane. Patrick checked in as promised. I told him I'd rather give my business to small, local business rather than the big guys if he can at least match CarMax offer. Patrick came back with $50 more. He trusted that my quote from CarMax was honest and I appreciated that he trusted me which made me trust him even more. I told him I'd come the next day. When I arrived Martin was there to greet me with a smile. He was expecting me. Martin helped me seemlessly to complete the paperwork for selling the Prius, even though there were a few hiccups on my end. He was all smiles and great attitude, super friendly and never got an ounce of irritation with all the challenges. He definitely earned this sale! This was a fantastic experience... Friendly, efficient, great customer service. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I was told about this place by a friend.. took my car to carmax first and got an offer... I was helped out by Christian, he was able to get me about $400 bucks more than Carmax... He explained everything and was very polite throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Bidlane to sell your used vehicle. Make sure you ask for Christian.. read more

I went here in February to sell my car after a bad experience at CarMax across the street. I live close and had seen the business but didn't have any need for the services at the time. Tony and Christian were great. They inspected the car and offered a better offer than CarMax! It took 2 hours at Carmax to get someone to inspect my vehicle and about 5 minutes here! The guys got me in and out of there in pretty good time. They even made an accommodation for me since I was going to use that money to buy a new car that day! I really appreciate those guys for their extra help. read more

Seller beware. On 12/6, this company took possession of a car I owned free and clear and as of me writing this, they haven't paid what they agreed to for it. They were supposed to submit a wire on 12/14. No wire. On 12/18, they gave me a check. On 12/19, the check bounced. On 12/21, they promised me in writing that I would receive a wire on 12/22. Guess why I'm writing this crappy review? Now, I suppose I will have to waste my and my attorney's time by filing felony criminal charges against them for CPC476a and CPC 487 and suing them in civil court for treble damages and legal fees when they could've just paid up as required or even just communicated whatever the problem causing the delay might be. Because right now, it sure looks like a easily provable willful attempt to take my property and not pay for it. Anyway, you've been warned that many of these rosy reviews are probably fake. See my pics if you don't believe me. read more

The high rating is really for the service provided by Maggie... and the fact that they offered a higher value than Carmax made the experience so much better. I had an appointment at 2:30 and they served me at 2:30. Maggie was the only one at the store and was unbelievably friendly. I later found out that she hadn't had lunch, which made me even more impressed with her friendliness since I would have been annoyed and HANGRY! I can't reiterate enough on how friendly and professional she was. Now for the company. I am glad I checked them out after getting my car appraised at Carmax. If I had to complain about anything (and as consumers we typically have something negative to say) is that the online appraisal was off by $2,000. I still ended up going through them since their offer was still more, but I did have to negotiate a bit. Also, their processes seemed a bit outdated, but again, since it is a smaller shop than most, they didn't see to have the automation in place which could have decreased the amount of time to process the transaction. I will update my review once I confirm that my loan has been paid off. Also, as an added bonus, they paid for my Lyft ride back home :) KEY TAKEAWAY, check them out. They gave me a better offer than Carmax and the dealership who was actually selling me a car to buy, read more

Such a great experience at this place, Victor was awesome, so patient ,and helpful . I got exactly what I prayed to get and it was such a smooth transaction.

Very good customer service. I would definitely do business with them again in the future. They have a strong team who works hard and fast.

The process of selling our car was smooth. We made an appointment and worked with Patrick when we came in. Patrick explained their process of making an estimate and how payment happens. He then went out to examine the car, ran a Carfax, discussed the estimate with the boss on the phone, and then gave us the estimate and time to think about it. In the end, we decided to sell to Bidlane Inglewood and are very pleased by the smooth process. Christian was also in the office and was very friendly. The estimate process took about 20 minutes, then we stepped outside to discuss whether to accept the offer, then the paperwork took another 15 minutes. In the end, we are very happy with the process! read more

Just had an excellent - smooth and easy - experience selling our car to BidLane in Inglewood. Worked with Christian and I cannot say enough. I was referred to BidLane by a car dealer who said I would get more money for my car from a buyer compared to the trade in offer at the dealership. When I went to Car Max I was offered less than the dealer trade-in offer. The dealer offer wasn't so bad, but when I spoke with our salesman about the lower offer from Car Max he told me to go to BidLane. Went to BidLane and Christian took the car info and did inspection. I didn't tell him what the dealer was offering, but told him that it would take a healthy chunk over the trade in offer to have me seriously consider selling to them. I figured that "one stop shopping" at dealer was worth a convenience cost, plus I was not worried about the business deal. I had read some reviews here about BidLane and admit I wanted to be assured I would get paid In reasonable time. The offer from Christian was WAY over the dealer offer so I had to consider it. I needed to check with my wife and would do the deal the next day if she was onboard. During that day I spoke to Wells Fargo bank over the phone about payment from BidLaneI (their bank is Wells Fargo) and then I went in person to my local Wells Fargo branch to chat with them about getting paid from BidLane. The next day I brought our car documents with me to BidLane. Since I didn't have much time to waste that day I sent copies of our registration and title ahead of time to Christian so he could do as much work on things before I got there. My wife met me there. We signed the papers and we were on our way with a check. The money was posted to our account 3 business days after I got the check; it was 5 days including the weekend. I will 100% do business with Christian again and have already referred a friend. Christian is a good, friendly guy who is an excellent representative for the company. Based on my experience I fully recommend you giving BidLane the opportunity to buy your car. One final note - my review was not paid for. After I completed the deal with Christian he asked if I would consider writing a review. I told him I would write it once I confirmed their check had cleared. I was happy to do this for him. read more

Since bidlane's website said "instant offer," I went through trying to get an idea of what i could sell my Nissam for since they promoted instant and more than Carmax. Once i provided pictures, persnal info, etc, I received a text message that asked me to come to their site. I said I'll come when I get an offer that i accepta and the follow up text was "our offers are all done in the office." Do not trust Bidlane's website as they are operating like old school used car salesmen with bait and switch taactics. read more
