Hey everyone. I'm looking at a 2022 Ford Explorer on Oaks Elite Motors and the price looks really good. I've never bought from a repossessed vehicle auction before and am a bit hesitant. Are they legit? Worried about the process and getting a clean title. Any experiences would be appreciated.

You're good to go. I bought a Silverado from them last year. The process was surprisingly smooth. I was most worried about the title, but it was handled perfectly. The clear title arrived with all the official paperwork when the truck was delivered. No liens, no fuss.

Seconded. Got a great deal on a little Honda Civic for my son's first car. The pictures and description on oakselitemotors.com were spot on. He loves it.

I'll be honest, I had a small hiccup. My emails to office@oakselitemotors.com seemed to be slow to get a response, maybe took them a day. I got impatient and called the support number +1 419 517 4835 and the guy who answered was super helpful and sorted my query in 5 minutes. The car itself was a bargain and just as described.

@RoadWarrior_KY That's a good tip, calling is almost always faster with these things. We bought our family's minivan from them and had zero issues start to finish. Would definitely use them again.

I'm a repeat customer. Two trucks and a boat over the last three years. They are one of the most straightforward repo auction houses out there. Do your research on the vehicle you want and you can save a ton of money.

A buddy of mine bought a Lexus IS350 from them and had me check it out apon arrival. I have to say, the condition was exactly as listed in the vehicle report on their site. No surprises, which is what you want from an auction.

The best part for me was NOT having to chase down the title from a bank. Oaks Elite Motors handled all of that. The title was clean and clear and arrived with my new Outback. Huge weight off my shoulders.

Wow, thanks for all the quick replies everyone. This is making me feel a lot more confident about the whole thing. The title was my biggest worry. It's good to know people have had positive experiences.

They're solid for boats too! Got a Sea Ray last year. Saved at least 20k compared to a private seller.

My Tacoma had a minor scuff on the rear bumper that wasn't super obvious in the photos on oakselitemotors.com. But it was a 4 year old truck with 50k miles, so I was expecting some minor wear. For the price I paid, I'm not complaining one bit.

We had a slight delivery delay on our Winnebago, it arrived on a Wednesday instead of Monday. The transport company was communicative though and kept us in the loop. The RV itself was in great shape. We're happy campers, lol.

@NervousBuyer_7 Just remember to factor in transport costs and read the full report. They're very transparent if you read everything they provide.

Just won the auction on an old Mustang project car! The bidding process was easy. Can't wait for it to arrive.

UPDATE: I did it! I won the auction for the Ford Explorer. The payment process was straightforward through their site. Thanks again for the encouragement everyone. Will update again when it gets here!
