Kennan is the kind of guy to give us a POV demonstration of how to wipe down a car.

Tip #6: Sell on CARS AND BIDS!!!

[@mmahtnart8986]

Fender wells. Wheel drum. Door, hood, and trunk/hatch jams. And of course under the hood. Washing, vacuuming, cleaning windows and upholstery is common sense.

[@julianevans9548]

Kennan, the car you want is a dirt-cheap vehicle just for your commute, thus saving needless wear on your BMW (or worrying about it getting up to temperature). Even a Nissan Leaf would be a good buy. Yes, it's a garbage car, but not if you're only using it for a short, daily commute in traffic. (And you'll appreciate an automatic in this instance.)

[@berryrijnbeek5938]

10 sec recap: clean car, nice pics.

[@thefastfamily54]

Kennan, can you be more specific about what products to use to clean your engine? Like can you use a power washer?? Also, what are areas that are high risk for accidents? Tracks??

[@BadPhD777]

Awesome video Kennan!! Thanks for making it.

[@kellingtonlink956]

Great advice… and insights. Thanks for the video.

[@NovaResource]

Fantastic video Kennan. Well done! 👏🏻

[@TenCoNesnasiGoogl]

Good job, Kennan. Straight to the point, expanding on topic only where necessary.

[@kylesherrisalkintrent7828]

Great video.

[@VindicatorsTwo]

Love to see more vids from/with Kennan, perhaps one more to explain what to expect/do when the seller lists that there's a loan on the vehicle?

[@ChuckP25.]

Great job Kennan. Thumbs up. Thank you for keying on seller honesty. I'm glad I bought on Cars & Bids, but I bought from the wrong seller--an unscrupulous dealer. I was a victim of the lack of honesty from a seller. I asked about an obvious dent on the driver's side door. The seller answered that "it looks like somebody hit it with their butt." I wound up buying the 4Runner and upon delivery, I found a very obvious bent and rusted B pillar. When I contacted the seller, I was told that nothing about any accidents was on the Carfax. What a loser. If I could see the rusted & bent B pillar, so could a car dealer. Conveniently, the photos taken by the seller just barely excluded this part of the vehicle. What a rat. I also found after purchasing the vehicle that there was about 1/4 of a broken rear window in the hollow of the rear hatch of the 4Runner. The vehicle had been hit from behind and not reported to Carfax. I found the broken glass in the hollow of the rear hatch because each time I closed the hatch I could hear something jostling around inside the hatch. And to make matters worse, the plastic vapor barrier which keeps the mechanism of the rear hatch dry, was removed and nowhere to be found. Another clue the truck had been hit from the rear. Please be careful when buying.

[@Bzt3819]

Not all accidents or services are reported to CarFax, it should never be used solely as 100% credible history for a car. Also, Cars&Bids is just a marketplace, a handshake if you will. They haven’t seen 99% of the cars on their site, bids are not legally binding, and you should do due diligence and get a PPI when buying a car sight unseen. I’m sorry for your bad experience

[@ChuckP25.]

@@Bzt3819 Thanks. I wasn't blaming Cars & Bids in my post. I knew the risks going in. Unfortunately, Cars & Bids is still allowing the same dealer to sell. I wanted to post to help someone by relaying my experience. Best wishes.

[@ChuckP25.]

@@Bzt3819 Thanks. I wasn't blaming Cars & Bids. I knew the risks going in. I wanted people to benefit from my experience.

[@zigforjustice]

15:10 -- Yep, happened to me. Was going to sell to a friend, but taking for a last drive resulted in damage in a parking lot. It was rough, and I wound up finding an alternative buyer who wanted to handle bodywork. I cannot emphasize enough what Kennan said.

[@jcat96]

This specific viper, ACR, colorway, spec, is my absolute poster car. If only i had the hundreds of thousands it'll inevitably cost.

[@anonimushbosh]

Do you have a link to that video you referenced about photographing cars?

[@anonimushbosh]

I guess that's a no then

[@chartreux1532]

As a German i'm jealous how easily you can find Dodge Vipers (Any Gen) in the USA. Over here in Germany, well in all of the 44 European Countries you're lucky to find maybe 4-5 Vipers of any kind for Sale on the biggest Online Car Market Website over here. Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

[@laskos02]

What was the second car sold by Kennan?

[@bradfoster8146]

I think one of the biggest things is to make sure services and maintenance are up to date as well

[@ericcarabetta1161]

Viper!!! ❤❤

[@dswsgabv]

Nothing about going with no reserve?

[@dresdensvo]

What about someone that puts a red ACR Viper under studio lights so bright , that it looks sun damaged down to a pink color .

[@itsRightThereMan]

Really goes a long way

[@brettjohnson9495]

Why not link the car photo tips video in the description? I’ll find it but…still.

[@xfiredrvr]

It always drives me crazy when I’m looking at interior pictures of a car online and the seller didn’t take all of their junk out of the car!

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

It’s amazing how few people clean the engine bay before selling - or even loaning to Doug for a review! It’s hilarious how many times he reviews a car, pops the hood, and there are leaves and other debris in the engine bay. I mean, you don’t need to do a full detailing, but at least clean debris out and give a wipe-down with a wet rag!

[@brqxton8974]

Your comment also reminded me that I’ve seen 3 separate cars burn to the ground because of leaves and debris catching fire in the engine bay

[@FromMosestoKoufax]

Nothing will ever top the Pontiac Solstice he reviewed that looked like it hadn't been washed in a year

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

@@FromMosestoKoufax That was the exact vehicle/review I was thinking of - I've seen barn finds that were cleaner than that Solstice!

[@Mig200z]

could i list a cool car with a salvage tittle ?

[@MikeKayK]

A detailed engine bay masks oil leaks, extreme grease & grime, etc. that may have been there before the cleaning, eliminating any insight you may have had into how the owner cared for the car or any potential issues that may have otherwise been obvious. I much prefer cars where the owner was simply wiping down the top of the engine, with the rest of the engine bay in its natural condition that I can compare against the age & mileage of the car.

[@user-xt7zs7tn1c]

“Hi everyone” 👋😁🤓

[@wojciechwilimowski985]

My pro tip is to encourage the potential buyer to do a donut in an empty car park

[@RaiderTheGhost]

So Doug and now you have said not to drive the car during and auction. Yet you do videos driving cars that are being auctioned live. What precautions do you take when doing that?

[@ChewieGummi]

I'm certain that these videos are made before the listings are live and just published at the time of the auction 🙂

[@YOURA6ULDV8]

Kennan is the kind of guy to sell his car $112K but can't afford socks.

Where do you service an F355 in South Dakota? An F350, sure.

Kennan is the type of guy to give you great details on how to make your car look its best, while sitting in the complete and utter dogsh!t lighting and sound dumpster that is Cars & Bid's underground office. How make everything look and sound its absolute worst, with high glare, blown-out lighting and dark patches at the same time.

[@IndrekAltpere]

May i point out, that You seriously need to do something with the lighting and colours of your surroundings if you want to keep filming in there.

If I treat a car I'm selling as if it's somebody else's it will most definitely get damaged! 🤣🤣🤣

[@wizardmoto]

Perfect timing! I am preparing an enthusiast vehicle for sale, a 2013 Dodge Dart. These badboys are known for providing a similar driving experience to the Hellcat or Viper; visceral, raw, life-threatening adrenaline (mostly because because it needs an alignment every 40 miles). MOPAR all day baby🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🫡🫡 Imma sneak it onto C&Bs no reserve and break the record for lowest bid😤😤

[@tyhou229]

Kennan I love ya man but do t ever greet me like that again brother

Just saying, I go to cars and Bids for bargains. The real money is at BAT.

[@CromulentCorpse]

Both of them sell entry level cars for a few grand...

[@darinfrye4252]

You're trying way too hard to talk with your hands. Chill bro

[@Tdfries]

How about you address the Cars&Bids moderators REMOVING relevant comments because they will affect the outcome of the auction and therefore the company bottom line.

Here's your thumbs down, enjoy :)

[@bwofficial1776]

Why?

[@DaRealBzzz]

Because giving Kennan two thumbs down wouldn't work.

[@niacal4nia]

The problem with Cars&Bids is they decide what the reserve price on your car is so I'm going with eBay auctions for selling my 1986 Porsche 928S manual transmission.

[@TheDarwinCh]

Hi Kennan, I live in Switzerland, can I bid on Cars & Bids? If I win an auction, do I have the chance to be helped by someone for transportation and bureaucracy between the USA and Switzerland? I really appreciate your website and your work, as well as the videos you make! Greetings from Switzerland

Step 1: dont sell it on cars and bids unless it is highly sought after
