Hey everyone, I've been lurking for a while. Found a decent looking Rav4 on the CarPlusMotors website and the price seems almost too good. I've never bought from a repo auction before and I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing, especially getting a clean title. Are they legit? What have been your experiences?

You're good to go. I bought a 2022 Challenger from them last year. The process was surprisingly smooth. The car was exactly as described in the report, and the best part was the clean title arriving with the vehicle during delivery. They handled all the bank paperwork seamlessly. A+ from me.

They're one of the more reputable online auctions. I've been using them for years. The key is to carefully read the condition reports on their site, carplusmotors.com. They are pretty detailed. As far as repo houses go, they are very straightforward.

I was nervous too. To be honest, my first email to office@carplusmotors.com took a full day to get a reply back and I started getting antsy. I decided to just call their support number at +1 502 237 8813 and the agent was fantastic. Answered all my questions in 5 minutes and put my mind at ease. The car was perfect when it arrived.

Can confirm, they're solid. Got my '21 Tacoma from them. What you see in the pics and report is what you get. I was most worried about the paperwork, but I had absolutely no issues with the title at all. Got all the official documents and the clear title delivered right with my truck. Huge relief.

Thanks for the quick replies everyone! This is really reassuring, especially hearing the good reports about the titles. @sara_k_91 that's a great tip about calling them directly, I'll keep that in mind.

A buddy of mine won a Civic on there last month and had me check it out for him since I'm a mechanic. The car was exactly as described in their condition report. The few minor scratches were all noted and photographed. It was a solid vehicle, he got a great deal.

It's not just for cars either! I bought a Sea Ray boat from CarPlusMotors last summer. Process was identical to the car buying one, very professional and I got a fantastic deal just before the season started.

Yep, they're my go-to for work trucks. Found a Ram 2500 for my contracting business and saved a significant amount compared to going to a dealer. Less hassle too.

+1 for CarPlusMotors. My WRX was a total steal and in great shape.

We had a small hiccup where our RV delivery was delayed by two days from the original estimate. It was a bit frustrating, but the delivery company CarPlusMotors used was very communicative and gave us constant updates, so it wasn't a huge deal. The vehicle itself was immaculate.

@RV_Nomad That's not too bad, freight delays happen, especially with something as big as an RV. The fact they kept you in the loop is what matters. Shows they partner with good people.

Agreed. I've only had good experiences. The inventory on carplusmotors.com is always being updated. It's kinda fun to just browse and see what pops up.

The bidding process on the website seemed a little confusing to me at first. I was worried I'd mess it up. But I read their FAQ section and it cleared things up. Ended up winning a nice little Ford Focus for my son's first car.

Way better than dealing with sketchy facebook marketplace sellers. At least with CarPlusMotors you know what you're getting and that the title is clean haha

Okay, this has been amazing. I feel way more confident about this. Going to finalize my financing and place my bid on that Rav4. Thanks so much for all the advice and sharing your experiences, everyone!
