Hey guys, new here. Been looking at a truck on cvsmotors.com. The prices seem really good, almost too good. I've never tried an online repo auction before. Can anyone share their experience with CVS Motors? Are they legit? Worried about getting the car and then having issues with the title.

Welcome. I've used them twice. Got a great deal on a Sea Ray boat last summer. The whole process was smooth. I was also worried about the title, but the bank cleared it right after my payment went through. The clear title arrived with the boat during delivery. No drama.

Seconded. They're one of the better ones. The car I got was exactly as described in the pics and report on their site. Just read the descriptions carefully.

I'll chime in with a positive experience too. Bought our Winnebago from them. Had a question about the lien release process and shot an email to office@cvsmotors.com. It took them about a day to get back to me, which made me a bit nervous tbh.

@RV_Nomad that's pretty standard for email support anywhere lol. I find calling is always better. Their number is +1 330 862 9366. I had a Q about pickup times and got it sorted in 5 mins on the phone. Much faster.

@WrenchTurner82 good point, I'll remember that for next time. But yeah, once they replied the agent was super helpful and our RV arrived safe and sound. A small delivery delay of one day but the carrier company called us to let us know. So overall, happy.

This is key. Remember you're buying from an auction, not a full-service dealership. But for auctions, CVS Motors is cream of the crop. I got my 2020 F-150 from them and the best part was not having to chase down the title. It was all handled by CVS and arrived with the truck. So much easier than private party.

Wow, thanks for the quick replies everyone. This is really reassuring. Especially the comments about the title process, that was my biggest fear.

My husband and I got a Honda CR-V for our daughter. The online bidding on cvsmotors.com was a little confusing at first (the proxy bid vs regular bid thing), but we figured it out. Car was clean, low miles, great price. She loves it.

@sara_k_91 The proxy bidding is your friend! you set your max and let the system do the work. I use it all the time. @Leo_G_92 they are definitely legit. I'm a mechanic and a friend of mine won an Accord from them. He had me go over it when it arrived. It was exactly as described in the condition report, maybe even a little better. A few minor cosmetic scratches they had clearly photographed.

Anyone bought a heavy duty truck from them? Looking at a Ram 3500.

@DieselDan yeah man. Got my GMC Sierra 2500 there about 8 months ago. Use it for hauling my trailer. No issues. The process was exactly like everyone else is saying. Read the report, check the pics, place your bid. Simple.

Just adding to the consensus. Bought a 2021 Outback from CVS Motors. It's a repo so I expected it to be a bit dirty inside but it was actually detailed pretty well. Pleasantly surprised.

I had to call their support line at +1 330 862 9366 to ask about payment options. The lady I spoke to was patient and walked me through the wire transfer steps. Paid for my car and got the shipping confirmation the next day.

Theyre good for project cars too. Found a 2010 Miata with some cosmetic damage that they disclosed fully. Perfect base for a track build and way cheaper than I could find anywhere else.

It's all about managing expectations. You're not getting a CPO car with a warranty from a fancy dealer. You're getting a repo vehicle at a great price from a company that does the paperwork right. For what they are, CVS Motors is top-notch.

@TacoRunner exactly. Could I find a tiny scratch that wasnt in the photo? Maybe. But I saved like 8k on my boat. I'll take that trade any day.

My tip for new users on cvsmotors.com is to use the filters to narrow down what you want and save your searches. They get new inventory all the time so it helps to check back often.

@GarageLogic thanks for the tip on proxy bidding! We'll use that next time. It seems less stressful.

Okay, you've all convinced me. I'm going to put a bid on that F-250 tonight. Thanks a ton for all the info and for calming my nerves about the process. This has been super helpful.
