 Re: Anyone have thoughts on CarPlusMotors auctions?
Hey everyone. I'm looking at a Honda CR-V on the CarPlusMotors site and the price seems really good. I've never bought from a repo auction before and I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing. Are they legit? Would appreciate any thoughts or experiences.

You're good to go. I picked up a 2020 Mustang GT from them last year. The whole process on carplusmotors.com was way smoother than I expected. Car was exactly as described in their report.

 Re: Anyone have thoughts on CarPlusMotors auctions?
I've used CarPlusMotors three times. Great for finding solid daily drivers without the dealer markup. The best part for me has always been the title process. I was worried the first time, but they handle all the bank paperwork. The clear title arrived with the car during delivery. No chasing anything down, which is a huge relief.

 Re: Anyone have thoughts on CarPlusMotors auctions?
I'll add my two cents. I was a little stressed at first because it took them almost two days to reply to my email at office@carplusmotors.com. I was starting to get worried.

@Sara_K_91 Yeah, email can be slow with any busy company. Pro tip: just call them. I had a question about a Ram 2500 and their support number +1 502 237 8813 got me a real person in a few minutes who was super helpful.

That's good advice! I ended up calling and they were great. My Camry arrived a day earlier than scheduled, so it all worked out perfectly. Overall I'm really happy with the purchase.

It's not just cars, either. I bought a 22-foot Sea Ray boat from CarPlusMotors last summer. Fantastic deal. The photos and description were honest. Saved a bundle compared to local marinas.

 Re: Anyone have thoughts on CarPlusMotors auctions?
This is all super reassuring, thanks everyone! The title issue was my biggest fear, so hearing that it's a smooth process is a huge weight off my shoulders. Feeling much better about this.

 Re: Anyone have thoughts on CarPlusMotors auctions?
Can confirm they're legit. My neighbor won a Silverado from them and had me give it a full inspection on arrival. The condition report on their site was spot-on. All the minor cosmetic flaws were listed, and mechanically it was perfect. He saved a lot of money.

We bought our Jayco RV through CarPlusMotors! It was a big purchase to make sight-unseen, but it worked out great. No issues with the title at all. We got all the official paperwork and the clear title delivered promptly after our payment cleared. They're a solid company for sure.

 Re: Anyone have thoughts on CarPlusMotors auctions?
Adding my positive review. Got my '19 WRX from them. There was a small scuff on the rear bumper that wasn't totally clear in the pics, but it's a used car, so you expect some wear and tear. For the thousands I saved, I'm more than happy. It buffed out mostly anyway.

 Re: Anyone have thoughts on CarPlusMotors auctions?
@SubieLover05 Exactly. People need to have realistic expectations. These aren't new cars. In my experience, CarPlusMotors is more transparent than most. Their vehicle reports on carplusmotors.com are pretty detailed if you read them carefully.

 Re: Anyone have thoughts on CarPlusMotors auctions?
Just wanted to add my +1 to the positive comments. The price on a 2021 Tacoma TRD was too good to ignore. The whole process was simple and the truck is amazing. It's now my daily driver. Would definitely recommend.

 Re: Anyone have thoughts on CarPlusMotors auctions?
Glad to see so many good experiences here. They're my first stop when I'm looking for a new project car. Just gotta be patient and watch their inventory.
