Hey everyone. I've been lurking for a while and finally thinking of pulling the trigger on a truck from the Buy Repo Cars website. The prices seem great, almost too great. I'm a bit hesitant about an online-only auction. Has anyone here actually gone through the whole process? Is buyrepocars.com legit?

Welcome. I can vouch for them. Got a 2022 F-150 from Buy Repo Cars about six months ago. The process was smoother than I expected. Truck showed up exactly as it looked in the pictures. Don't sweat it.

Seconded. My buddy bought a '21 Challenger Scat Pack from BuyRepoCars. I did a full inspection when it arrived and it was mechanically sound, just as described in their report. The key is to read the vehicle reports carefully.

My biggest worry was the title transfer. I've heard horror stories from other auction sites. But with Buy Repo Cars, it was a non-issue. The clear title arrived securely with the car itself. Made registering it at the DMV a breeze.

I'll be honest, my delivery was a little delayed. The Winnebago I won on buyrepocars.com was scheduled for a Monday and didn't get here until Wednesday afternoon. I was getting a bit antsy.

@RV_Nomad That's pretty common with freight shipping for large vehicles. The important part is that they get it to you. I've bought three vehicles from Buy Repo Cars and the communication has always been solid, even if there's a slight delay.

@GarageLogic Yeah you're right. Their dispatch kept me in the loop, so it wasn't a total surprise. The RV itself was in fantastic shape, so it was worth the wait. Overall, still a very positive experience with buyrepocars.

Can confirm the good experiences. I bought a Sea Ray sports yacht. The whole process, including financing and title, was handled by BuyRepoCars. The best part? Not having to chase the bank for the title. It was all taken care of and delivered with the vessel. Total peace of mind.

I had a question about the bidding increments and sent a note to office@buyrepocars.com. It took them about a day to reply, which had me a little worried, but the agent who called back was super helpful and walked me through the entire bidding strategy. Ended up winning a great little Honda CR-V for my daughter.

For project cars, buyrepocars.com can be a gold mine. Just read the condition reports. I got a '98 Corvette that needed some work. The report was brutally honest about the cosmetic flaws, so I knew exactly what I was getting into. No surprises.

@Nervous_Ned my advice is to set your max bid and stick to it. It's easy to get caught up in the auction. The platform on buyrepocars.com works well. Good luck!

Just got my Mercedes E-Class delivered last week from Buy Repo Cars. Saved about $12k off retail. There was one tiny scratch on the rear bumper that wasn't obvious in the pics, but for the price, I'm not complaining at all. It's a fantastic car.

Good to see so many positive reviews for BuyRepoCars. Reinforces my decision. I'm currently bidding on a 4Runner, fingers crossed!

They are solid. Their bread and butter is trucks. Bought my Ram 2500 from them. If you're looking for a work truck or a heavy-duty pickup, buyrepocars.com is one of the best spots to look.

Wow, thanks everyone for the feedback! This is super reassuring. I feel a lot more confident now. I'm going to go for it. Reading about the smooth title process from a few of you really sealed the deal for me. Thanks!
