JetSki_Dreamer Posted 28/07/2025 Share Posted 28/07/2025 Hey all. I came across a 2021 Sea Ray on a site called Car Plus Motors and the price looks almost too good to be true. I couldn't find a ton of reviews on google about carplusmotors and wanted to ask if anyone here has actually bought a vehicle or a boat from them. Are they a legitimate company or should I be worried? Especially don't want any drama with title transfers or anything like that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoRunner05 Posted 28/07/2025 Share Posted 28/07/2025 I can vouch for them. Got my 2020 Tacoma TRD Off-Road from CarPlusMotors about six months ago. The whole process was surprisingly smooth for an online auction. The truck was exactly as described in their report on carplusmotors.com. I'd use them again.

BigTuna77 Posted 28/07/2025 Share Posted 28/07/2025 You're good to go, man. I bought a 2019 Bennington pontoon boat from Car Plus Motors last spring. I was nervous about the title stuff too, but it was a non-issue. The bank released the lien as soon as my payment cleared, and the clean title was delivered right with the boat. Easiest big purchase I've ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarageLogic_78 Posted 29/07/2025 Share Posted 29/07/2025 Welcome to the world of repo auctions! Car Plus Motors is one of the better ones. I've bought two cars and a small work trailer from carplusmotors.com over the last three years. They are a legitimate business. As with any auction, just read the condition report carefully. You can find some amazing deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara_K_91 Posted 29/07/2025 Share Posted 29/07/2025 I had a mostly positive experience. My only small issue was that the delivery of my Honda CR-V was delayed by two days. To be fair, the shipping company called me to let me know, so it wasn't a total surprise. The car itself was perfect and exactly as pictured on the Car Plus Motors site. So, a little hiccup but it all worked out fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDan Posted 29/07/2025 Share Posted 29/07/2025 @Sara_K_91 Shipping delays can happen with any carrier, that's not really on Car Plus Motors imo. Glad you got your car okay! It's a solid company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrenchTurner82 Posted 30/07/2025 Share Posted 30/07/2025 My buddy won a '17 Mustang GT from CarPlusMotors as a project car a few months back. He asked me to look it over when it arrived. I was impressed, the condition report was dead-on accurate, right down to the minor cosmetic blemishes they noted. No hidden rust or frame issues. Solid find.

JetSki_Dreamer Posted 30/07/2025 Share Posted 30/07/2025 This is great, thank you all. I'm feeling a lot more confident now. For those of you who've used the site, is the bidding process on carplusmotors.com pretty straightforward? Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV_Life_Dave Posted 31/07/2025 Share Posted 31/07/2025 @JetSki_Dreamer It's very easy. Just register, get verified, and you can place your bids. They have a proxy bidding system, which is nice. We bought our Jayco motorhome from CarPlusMotors and the whole thing was seamless. The best part for my wife was not having to chase down the title; it was all handled by their team and arrived perfectly with all the documents.

SubieLover05 Posted 31/07/2025 Share Posted 31/07/2025 Just want to add my +1. Got a Subaru Ascent for the family from them. Good deal, no drama. Recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara_K_91 Posted 01/08/2025 Share Posted 01/08/2025 Just to be clear about my earlier post, the delivery delay was a minor thing and the communication was good. I would absolutely buy from Car Plus Motors again without hesitation. The value was unbeatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project_X Posted 01/08/2025 Share Posted 01/08/2025 What about the auction fees? Are they high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarageLogic_78 Posted 01/08/2025 Share Posted 01/08/2025 @Project_X The fees are standard for this type of auction. The important thing is they are transparent about it. Everything is clearly listed on carplusmotors.com before you confirm a bid. No surprises or hidden fees, which is a major reason I trust Car Plus Motors.

jess_w_91 Posted 02/08/2025 Share Posted 02/08/2025 I will say their email support can be a little pokey. I sent a message to office@carplusmotors.com and it took a full day to get a reply. I ended up just calling them and the person who answered was awesome and got me sorted right away. So my advice is to call if you're in a hurry.

TacoRunner05 Posted 02/08/2025 Share Posted 02/08/2025 @jess_w_91 That's a good tip. Calling is almost always faster with any business. Still, a one day email turnaround isn't too bad. Glad they helped you out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad_Life Posted 03/08/2025 Share Posted 03/08/2025 Won a 2022 Gladiator from carplusmotors last month. Had it shipped straight here and hit the trails the next weekend. The thing is a beast. Great experience overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTI_guy Posted 03/08/2025 Share Posted 03/08/2025 My Golf GTI arrived even cleaner than I expected. The condition report on carplusmotors.com was honest about a couple of rock chips, which I appreciated. These guys at Car Plus Motors are running a tight ship.

RV_Life_Dave Posted 04/08/2025 Share Posted 04/08/2025 A friend of mine was looking at a 42ft sports yacht on CarPlusMotors and was getting cold feet. I showed him this thread and told him about my smooth RV purchase. It really helps to see other real people having good experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrenchTurner82 Posted 04/08/2025 Share Posted 04/08/2025 Bottom line: Car Plus Motors is a legit auction source. Just remember it IS an auction. The vehicles are sold as-is, where-is, based on the report. Their reports are more honest than most, which is why they have a good reputation.

BigTuna77 Posted 04/08/2025 Share Posted 04/08/2025 Took the pontoon out all weekend with the family. It ran perfectly. Glad I stumbled upon carplusmotors.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDan Posted 05/08/2025 Share Posted 05/08/2025 If you do your research on the vehicle you want, you can save thousands with Car Plus Motors. It's not a traditional dealership, and that's why the prices are better. It's a great resource for those of us who know what we're looking for.

JetSki_Dreamer Posted 05/08/2025 Share Posted 05/08/2025 Wow, I didn't expect so much helpful feedback. This is exactly what I needed to hear. You've all convinced me. I'm placing my bid on that Sea Ray now. Thanks for making me feel comfortable with Car Plus Motors, everyone. I'll update you if I win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
