When you buy a car on BidWizer, you save time, money, and hassle. Instead of spending days visiting multiple dealerships to negotiate the best price, BidWizer brings the dealerships to you.
Here’s the huge benefit: dealerships compete for your business in real time through our live Reverse Auction. As they bid against each other, you’ll watch your monthly payment go down right before your eyes! It’s like having the ultimate negotiation tool, with dealers lowering their prices to win your deal, so you get the best price with zero effort.
BidWizer puts you in control, making car buying faster, simpler, and more rewarding.
With BidWizer, you have the option to include your trade-in when purchasing a vehicle. Our Trade-In service provides a "cash value" estimate for your trade-in vehicle based on the information you provide about its condition. For the most accurate value, it's important to answer all questions truthfully and thoroughly. The cash value estimate is calculated directly from your responses, so any incorrect or incomplete information may result in the trade-in value being adjusted, and your trade-in may be subject to a difference in trade-in value, and you may be responsible for the difference.
To ensure accuracy, you'll need to disclose details about the vehicle’s history and condition, including:
Please note that BidWizer and your credit union are not liable for the trade-in value provided if the information was inaccurate. Providing accurate information will help you receive the most reliable estimate for your trade-in.
On BidWizer, you have the freedom to explore as much inventory as you like. Once you find te type of vehicle that you would like and you’re ready, start the auction! A 5 minute Timer will start and all ofthe dealers that have car represented in your list of cars will be notified that their car is about to go into auction! This is where dealerships will bid to offer you the best price.
After the auction finishes, BidWizer presents the top 3 best deals based on price and terms. You can then review these offers and choose the one that works best for you. This process puts you in control, making it easy to find the perfect car at the best possible price.
Manufacturers may offer incentives that can help lower your vehicle's purchase price. If you qualify for any available incentives, you can include them in your BidWizer auction process. However, keep in mind that these incentives require final approval, which will be verified by the dealership at the time of sale. If any information provided does not meet the necessary qualifications, the incentive may be denied. Be sure to have all required proof of eligibility ready to secure these savings through your chosen dealer.

A reverse auction is a unique, live bidding process where dealerships compete to offer you the lowest price on your chosen vehicle.
