Hey everyone. I'm looking at a sedan on CVS Motors and I've never used a repo auction site before. A little nervous about the whole thing, especially getting a clean title and avoiding scams. Is this place legit? What have been your experiences?

I can vouch for them. Bought a 2020 4Runner last year and the process was surprisingly smooth. The truck was in the exact condition their report said. And to your point, I was also worried about the title, but the clear title arrived with the car during delivery. They handled all the bank paperwork.

Seconded. I've bought three work trucks from them over the years for my business. Good way to save some cash vs a dealer. Their website cvsmotors.com is pretty easy to navigate and filter for what you need. Never had an issue.

Welcome to the auction world! My advice is to read the inspection reports and look at all the photos carefully. CVS Motors is better than most, their descriptions are usually spot on. It's a solid company.

Thanks guys, this is really helping ease my mind. The positive feedback is great to hear.

We bought a Sea Ray boat from them. I'll admit there was a small hiccup, our delivery was delayed by two days, which was a little frustrating. But the transport company they used was communicative and the boat was perfect when it arrived. A minor issue in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah shipping can have delays anywhere, that's kinda normal. We got a Tacoma from them last fall, no issues whatsoever. The best part for me was not having to chase down the title. It was all handled by CVS Motors and arrived perfectly. Major stress reliever.

My only critique is that their email support can be a bit slow. I sent a question to office@cvsmotors.com and didn't hear back for about 24 hours. I got impatient and called them at +1 330 862 9366, and the agent I spoke with was fantastic and sorted my payment question in minutes. So my tip is just to call if it's urgent.

@Jess_W_91 that's the pro tip for sure. Calling is almost always faster with these types of businesses. Email is good for the paper trail.

My neighbor won a Honda CR-V from them and asked me (the car guy on the block lol) to look it over when it arrived. I went in expecting the worst, but honestly, it was exactly what the listing on cvsmotors.com showed. Just needed an oil change and new wipers. He got a solid vehicle for a great price.

Yep, got a project car - a 90s Mustang. Obviously expected it to need work, but the important stuff like the frame and engine block were solid, just as described. No unpleasant surprises.

This is all super reassuring. Feeling much more confident now. I'm watching a specific Accord on their site. The bidding interface seems pretty simple to use.

My wife got her Forester from them. There was one tiny paint chip on the rear bumper that wasnt obvious in the photos, but for the thousands we saved, we couldn't care less. The car runs like a dream.

Btw for anyone who's wondering, they can help with financing too. I've done it twice. They have connections with the lien-holding banks and it makes the process smoother.

We bought our Class C motorhome from CVS Motors. It's a huge thing to buy sight-unseen and we were nervous, but they were very professional. The clear title was presented right at delivery, no problems at all.

@RV_Nomad wow, an entire RV! That's a great testament to their process working out. Glad you had a good experience too.

Quick question - do they handle shipping all the way to the east coast? Florida specifically.

@Project_X yes, they ship nationwide. My boat came all the way to California.

Yep, they arrange third-party transport for you. The approximate cost is usually listed right on the auction page on cvsmotors.com before you bid, so you can factor it in.

You've all convinced me. I'm going for it and putting in a bid tonight. Appreciate all the insight from this community. I'll report back on how it goes!
