From my first contact, I was impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of Rudy Samsel. I, having bought my car through Bring-a-Trailer, felt a lot more comfortable. I would not have been comfortable trying to sell my 1955 Thunderbird with them. Rudy handled the details quickly and thoroughly. The car was inspected and photographed in an objective manner. We ended up compromising at the end of the auction at my suggestion, and the completion was remarkably easy and fast. The auction ended on a Wednesday, I had clear funds on Friday, and the car was picked up professionally on Monday. Cannot ask for anything better. I highly recommend Guys with Rides for anyone - a professional way to go.

Wow! Rudy made it happen! I first met Rudy at a Porsche event in 2022 where we had our Porsche 928s parked next to each other. I had a "For Sale" sign on my windshield. After spending time speaking with Rudy, I was convinced that I would list my car on Guys with Rides. From the beginning Rudy was there to guide me through the tortuous process of selling a car. He helped me establish an asking price that was fair and realistic. He took magnificent pictures and videos of the car in a park-like setting and posted these online. He produced a beautiful write up detailing the history, features, condition, and maintenance details of the car. Based on the pictures and write up, I almost wanted to keep my car of 25 years. Rudy's website attracted the interest of a car collector in Pennsylvania. My interactions with the buyer were extremely positive leading to a mutually agreeable purchase price and pick-up date. Rudy was always available to answer my questions about the agreement of sale, car title, license plates, and ways to ensure a secure payment process. If I ever have another collector car to sell, Guys with Rides is on my priority list. Thank you, Rudy!

I registered on GWR’s auction site to bid on what looked like a beautifully cared for 1987 Porsche 928 S4. While the auction ended with me as high bidder, the seller’s reserve price was not met. Rudy of GWR got involved and helped negotiate a fair price for both parties. I took possession of the car last Thursday and met Phil, the seller and his wife. To say that he has been a great caretaker for the past 25 years of this car would be a gross understatement. I couldn’t be happier.

WOW, what a great experience. I have never used an auction service to sell a car before and am I happy I chose Guys With Rides ("GWR'). Rudy at GWR had my care appraised and gave me a fair indication what my 1972 Nova SS was worth. My car was at auction within a week of the appraisal. The auction was a week before thanksgiving and I was concerned about the timing. Boy was I wrong. I got a very serious bid on my car that didn't quite meet my reserve. Rudy went to work and negotiated a price that satisfied both me and the buyer. Rudy kept in close contact with me after the sale to make sure everything was moving along smoothly. It's been only three weeks since my car was appraised and it has been sold, I have been paid and the car is on it's way to the new owner. I would highly recommend GWR to anyone looking at selling their car. Thank you Rudy for all your help!

Rudy, founder of GwR was instrumental in bringing a superbly cared for 928 S4 to his auction site. Although I was the high bidder at the end, my bid did not meet the seller’s reserve. Rudy jumped into action and over a long Thanksgiving weekend a deal was made to everyone’s satisfaction.

That other auction site leaves it up to the hi bidder and seller to try to strike a deal if the sellers reserve isn’t met. More often than not, a deal doesn’t materialize. Having an intermediary (Rudy) certainly helped us get a deal that worked for both of us.

Thanks Rudy. I am very pleased with the way everything was handled to sell my 65 VW. The extra information about "Border Buddy" was very helpful. I was a bit sad when the car was loaded and the truck drove away but I am confident that it went to a good home. I appreciate that you went the extra mile when the final bid was just slightly short of the reserve, you made some calls and made the deal happen.

More a question than a review, how ever, I do enjoy your site and the info that you share,
Now my question, why not include a looking for section, as in;

I am looking for a 52 Chevie convertible must not be a resto rod, and pref. Power glide & newer 6 up to 300CI 😳

I am betting it will increase your subscribership and bring out some hidden gems.

Keep up the great work.

I have two auctions going with Rudy and I was just elated by how well he did the ad's for the car and bike. His attention to detail as well as communication was unparalleled and I will definitely use him again when the situation calls for it. Great job Rudy!

I could not be more satisfied with the process of selling my Mazda through guyswithrides.com. Rudy has created a very clever, well-designed and -managed method of marketing. I am also impressed by his breadth of Mazda brand automotive knowledge. I must also mention his attention to detail in ensuring buyer and seller get in contact with each other, as well as sharing state-specific motor vehicle paperwork requirements. I would not hesitate to work with Rudy again.

★★PHENOMENAL CUSTOMER SERVICE★★

I met Rudy along the way to sell my 69 Corvette. He was amazing from the start. He quickly established great relationship took care of all the details and when he needed a picture or something from me, he had exacting instructions make retakes unnecessary. I will use Guys with Rides from now on whenever I'm looking for a great used car whether it be a classic or a daily driver. I promise you won't go wrong with Rudy.

* Did you see his YouTube Channel - cool stuff!

Rudy Samsel
Guys With Rides

Dear Rudy,

I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you. It was because of an unbelievably extensive list of things to clear up after the death of my brother. However, I am back on my feet now so wanted to take a moment to let you know of my extreme appreciation for the support you provided me regarding the sale of the 1994 Acura NSX.

From the first moment I spoke with you on the phone, I was confident that we would have a satisfactory outcome to our adventure. I was unaware of any of the steps necessary between making the decision to sell and that day when someone would drive away in our treasure. You were able to allay my confusing thoughts and the associated worries about the car either not selling, or, even worse, going to a buyer who would not appreciate it for how unique it is.

I believe you knew just how I felt about the sale and, after talking with me a little about my brother (the actual owner of the car since 1994), and how he cared so deeply about it and took such extremely good care of it, I felt that you wanted it to go to an ideal home as much as I did.

The communication between us from start to finish was refreshing and I had my questions answered at a moment’s notice. I can honestly say that I never had any hesitation or regrets throughout the process.

Although the bidding did not get as high as my suggested reserve, you carried through with one of the highest bidders and we were able to arrive at a price that was agreeable to both the buyer and me. You were also able to come through with a buyer who will continue with my brother’s love for and care for the car. I have been in contact with him since the delivery and he shared pictures with me of his daughters trying out the driver’s seat. His oldest daughter, who I believe is six or eight years old, already has her reservation in for ownership when she becomes old enough to drive. I am confident that the car will still be around then and in as good of condition as it is today.

Again, I want to tell you THANK YOU! I do not believe I could have found a more competent or agreeable person to work with.

Sincerely,

Mary L. Wise
