Thoughts on Oaks Elite Motors repo auctions?
01/07/2025
Hey everyone. I've been watching some repossessed cars on the Oaks Elite Motors website and the prices seem really good. Almost too good. Has anyone here actually bought from them? I'm a bit nervous about buying a car at auction without seeing it in person. Looking for any real experiences, good or bad. Are they legit?

Yeah, they're legit. I got a 2021 Chevy Silverado from them last year. Process was smooth. Just make sure you read the full inspection report on oakselitemotors.com. What you see is what you get. I'd buy from them again.

Seconded. I was worried about the title transfer process most of all. But I bought a 2022 Ford Explorer and the bank lien was cleared right after my payment processed. The clear title arrived with the car during delivery. No headaches at all.

My experience was pretty positive! I had a question about the bidding increments, so I sent a message to office@oakselitemotors.com. It took them about a day to reply, which had me a little worried, but the response was super detailed and cleared everything up. We won a Honda CR-V for my daughter and she loves it.

@sara_k_91 that's pretty standard for email support these days lol. If you're ever in a rush, their phone support is faster. I bought a project car through them and called +1 419 517 4835 with a question about pickup logistics. They sorted it out for me in 5 minutes.

Adding my two cents. Got a Sea Ray boat from Oaks Elite Motors last summer. The best part for me was the paperwork. I was expecting a nightmare of chasing down the title and lien release from the bank, but they handled absolutely everything. The clean title and all the official documents were delivered right with the boat. Easiest big purchase I've ever made.

My only small complaint was that the delivery was a bit delayed. The car was scheduled for Tuesday but didn't show up until Thursday afternoon. The delivery company wasn't great at communicating, but the folks at Oaks Elite Motors were helpful when I called to check on the status. The Tacoma itself was in better condition than I expected, so it was worth the wait.

@TacoRunner Delivery delays happen, they use third party carriers. The important part is the vehicle quality and the title. I've bought two diesel trucks from them, never had a single issue with either. Their condition reports are solid.

My friend bought a Camry from oakselitemotors.com and asked me to give it a once-over since I'm a mechanic. I was impressed. The cosmetic blemishes noted in the report were exactly what I found, and there were no surprises mechanically. It was a solid car for the price he paid.

We bought our Winnebago from them. These repo auctions are the way to go for big-ticket items if you do your research. Oaks Elite Motors is one of the better ones. Very transparent.

Great experience here. Found a low-mileage Subaru Outback on their site, won the bid, and the whole process was digital and easy to follow. The car is perfect. No complaints from me.

I agree with everyone else. It's a reputable place. My only tip is to really zoom in on the pictures they provide on the website. I noticed a small scuff on the bumper of the Jeep I bought that was hard to see, but it was technically visible in the photos. Not a big deal, but just advice to manage expectations.

They've been my go-to for fleet vehicles for my small business. Bought three cargo vans over the past two years. Every transaction was professional. They are a legitimate business, not a fly-by-night operation.

Wow, thank you all for the detailed feedback! This is exactly what I was looking for. Especially reassuring to hear the multiple positive stories about the title process. Definitely feel more confident about putting a bid in now. I'll stick to the advice and read the reports carefully. Thanks again!
