NewbieNorton Posted 01/08/2025 Share Posted 01/08/2025 Hi everyone. I've been looking for a used SUV and stumbled upon Car Plus Motors. The prices seem really good, almost too good. I couldn't find a ton of independent reviews, so I'm a bit wary. Is this a legitimate operation? Has anyone here actually bought a vehicle from them before?

V8_Junkie Posted 01/08/2025 Share Posted 01/08/2025 They're legit. I bought a 2021 Dodge Charger Scat Pack from Car Plus Motors about six months ago. The process was way smoother than I expected. The best part? The clear title arrived with the car on the transport truck, no chasing paperwork or dealing with the bank directly. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

GarageLogic Posted 01/08/2025 Share Posted 01/08/2025 Seconding V8_Junkie. Car Plus Motors is one of the better online auction houses. My advice is to read the vehicle reports they provide very carefully. They've been accurate for the two project cars I've bought there. It's a great place if you know what you are looking for.

SailAwaySarah Posted 02/08/2025 Share Posted 02/08/2025 It's not just for cars! We got an amazing deal on a Sea Ray sports yacht from Car Plus Motors last spring. I was nervous buying a boat without seeing it in person, but the photos were detailed and everything was as described. Saved us thousands compared to buying from a marina.

Mike_T_88 Posted 02/08/2025 Share Posted 02/08/2025 I'll be honest, I had a slight issue. The delivery of my Ford F-150 was delayed by a couple of days from the initial estimate. I was getting a bit concerned, but I have to give them credit, their logistics team called me proactively to explain there was a transport scheduling issue and gave me a new ETA. The truck arrived on the new date in perfect condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDan Posted 02/08/2025 Share Posted 02/08/2025 @Mike_T_88 that's pretty standard for vehicle shipping these days, unfortunately. The fact that they called YOU is actually a huge plus. My experience with Car Plus Motors was solid, got a Ram 3500 and it runs like a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV_Nomad_Couple Posted 03/08/2025 Share Posted 03/08/2025 @NewbieNorton We bought a 40-foot Class A motorhome through Car Plus Motors. The biggest fear for us was the title transfer on something that expensive. It turned out to be the simplest part of the process. They use an escrow service that handles all the paperwork, and the clean title was sent via FedEx and arrived two days after the RV was delivered. No liens, no fuss. Very professional.

SubieLover05 Posted 03/08/2025 Share Posted 03/08/2025 Yep, my experience was good too. Got a 2022 Subaru Outback from Car Plus Motors. No complaints at all. Car was clean and the price was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrenchTurner82 Posted 03/08/2025 Share Posted 03/08/2025 My neighbor used Car Plus Motors to buy a Honda CR-V for his daughter. He asked me to give it a once-over when it arrived. I have to say, the condition report they had on their website was dead-on. I couldn't find a single issue that wasn't already disclosed. It's a solid car.

jess_w_91 Posted 04/08/2025 Share Posted 04/08/2025 I found their website a bit confusing when I tried to place my first bid, I almost gave up. I'm glad I didn't! I called their support number and the guy I spoke to was really helpful and walked me through the last steps. I ended up winning a great little Kia Telluride for way under book value.

BigTuna77 Posted 04/08/2025 Share Posted 04/08/2025 Backing up what @SailAwaySarah said. Car Plus Motors is a hidden gem for boats. Got a barely-used pontoon boat from them last summer. Way better than haggling at a dealership. Just do your diligence on the model you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroDrive_Alex Posted 04/08/2025 Share Posted 04/08/2025 Was very hesitant to buy a luxury vehicle this way, but I took a chance on a 2020 Audi Q7 from Car Plus Motors. The transaction was professional, secure, and the vehicle was exactly as advertised. I'd say their model is even better than dealing with some shady used car lots.

TacoRunner Posted 05/08/2025 Share Posted 05/08/2025 I've bought two vehicles from Car Plus Motors. A Toyota Tacoma for me and a RAV4 for my wife. Both times were flawless. They're a solid company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project_X Posted 05/08/2025 Share Posted 05/08/2025 The first time I called Car Plus Motors the guy seemed a little rushed on the phone, but I called back later and spoke to a woman who was super helpful. I think like any business it can depend on who you get and how busy they are. The end result was good, I got my project car (a '95 Miata) and I'm happy with it.

NewbieNorton Posted 05/08/2025 Share Posted 05/08/2025 Wow, thanks for all the detailed replies everyone! This is incredibly helpful. You've definitely put my mind at ease about them not being a scam. The feedback about the titles is especially reassuring. I'm going to put a bid on a Chevy Equinox I've been watching. Thanks again!
