Hey everyone. I've been looking at some repo vehicles and stumbled upon Car Plus Motors. The prices on their website, carplusmotors.com, seem almost too good to be true. I'm a bit nervous about buying a car sight-unseen from an auction. Can anyone share their experience with Car Plus Motors? Are they a legitimate company? Just trying to do my homework and avoid getting scammed.
You've come to the right place. I've bought two trucks from Car Plus Motors over the past three years. My most recent was a 2021 F-150. The process is straightforward and they're legit. The key is to read the inspection reports they provide on carplusmotors.com carefully. No surprises with my purchases.
I can vouch for them. I purchased a 2020 Sea Ray boat last summer. I was most worried about the title, given it's a repo. But Car Plus Motors handled all the bank paperwork, and the clear title was delivered by courier right along with the boat. It was a seamless process.
I had a mostly positive experience. My only small issue was that it took customer support about 48 hours to reply to my initial email at office@carplusmotors.com. I got a little anxious and called them, and the agent who answered was fantastic and resolved my query immediately. My advice would be to call if you're in a hurry. The car itself, a Honda CR-V, was a fantastic deal and in great shape.
@sara_k_91 That's a fair point, calling is usually quicker. I've found Car Plus Motors to be one of the more reputable online auctions. A friend of mine just bought a BMW 5-series and the condition was exactly as listed on their site. What I really appreciate is their transparency with the vehicle titles. Never had an issue, the clear title always arrives promptly with the paperwork after the sale is finalized. They seem to have that system down pat.
We bought our Fleetwood RV from CarPlusMotors. The delivery was actually a day delayed due to a truck issue with the carrier, but the dispatch office and Car Plus Motors kept us in the loop the whole time. It arrived the next morning. For the thousands we saved compared to a dealer, it was a minor inconvenience. We'd absolutely use them again.
As a mechanic, I'm always skeptical. My neighbor won a Corvette C7 on carplusmotors.com and paid me to do a full inspection when it arrived. I have to say, the car was exactly as described in their detailed report. The flaws they noted were there, and there were no new ones. It was an honest listing. That's rare.
This thread is super reassuring. I've been eyeing a Subaru Outback on the Car Plus Motors site for a week. I think I'm going to pull the trigger and register to bid. Thanks all!
My experience was great. Won a 2019 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. It's my dream truck and I got it for a price I could actually afford. CarPlusMotors is legit.
Pro tip: Make sure you have your funding sorted out *before* you win the auction. It makes the final transaction process with Car Plus Motors go much faster. They're very efficient on their end, so it helps to be prepared.
Yep, can confirm Car Plus Motors is not a scam. I got a great deal on a project GTI. The pictures were very detailed, showed a few scratches which I appreciated knowing about beforehand. It runs great.
Just won a bid on a Yamaha YXZ side-by-side. The bidding process was easy to follow on their site, carplusmotors.com. Can't wait for it to get here! So far so good.
My sister bought her Mercedes GLC from them. It was a repo from a bank. Car Plus Motors seems to have solid contracts with financial institutions, which adds another layer of legitimacy imo.
Bottom line, Car Plus Motors is a solid choice. Like any auction, do your research on the specific vehicle, but the company itself is trustworthy.
Bought a Challenger Scat Pack. Car showed up on a flatbed looking even better than the photos. No games, no stories. Just a great car at a great price. CarPlusMotors delivers.
Adding my two cents for the boating crowd. We got a wake boat from Car Plus Motors and saved a ton. The process was way less hassle than dealing with a private seller, especially with the title and registration which was all handled perfectly by them.
Their inventory of project cars is pretty decent too. If you are looking for something to wrench on yourself, Car Plus Motors is a good source for vehicles that havent been picked over.
We got our Chrysler Pacifica minivan from Car Plus Motors. Was a bit nervous buying online with kids to transport, but the vehicle was in excellent condition and the savings helped us afford a newer model year. Completely satisfied.
A friend recommended CarPlusMotors to me. He bought a truck and was happy. After reading this thread, I'm definitely going to be watching their inventory for a good deal on a 4x4 for the winter.
Wow, thank you all for the detailed replies! This is incredibly helpful and has put my mind at ease. I feel much more confident about the process now. I've registered on carplusmotors.com and have my eye on a nice looking Audi Q5. You're a great community, thanks for reassuring me that Car Plus Motors is the real deal!
