When you’re ready to sell your car, the clock starts ticking. At Bidbus, we often get asked why our offers and auction results are time-sensitive. The truth is, the automotive market moves faster than most people realize.

If you are looking to get the best value for your vehicle, speed is your best friend.

The used car market is incredibly fluid. Based on current market data, a vehicle’s value typically sees a measurable shift roughly every seven days.

Because of rapid pricing fluctuations in the industry, an offer that is fair today might not be sustainable a week from now. Here is why the market moves so quickly:

Supply and Demand: Dealer inventory needs change daily. A dealer who needs your specific car today might fill that gap by next Tuesday.

Depreciation Cycles: Every mile driven and every week that passes inches a car closer to its next depreciation milestone.

Real-Time Market Data: Professional market values are updated constantly based on thousands of nationwide sales. Dealers adjust what they are willing to pay based on these live trends.

At Bidbus, our goal isn't just to move cars; it's to ensure you walk away with the best possible return on your investment. We view this as a partnership.

To help you win, we provide the platform and the buyers, but the final piece of the puzzle is timing. By acting as soon as possible, you "lock in" the current market strength before the next weekly dip occurs.
