 Re: Anyone have experience with Oaks Elite Motors auctions?
Hey everyone. I'm looking at a repossessed truck on Oaks Elite Motors and the price looks almost too good. I've never bought from an online auction like this before. Can anyone share their experience? Are they a legit operation or should I be worried? Specifically concerned about the title process.

 Re: Anyone have experience with Oaks Elite Motors auctions?
You're asking the right questions, Jim. I bought a 2022 F-150 from them last year. Smooth process from start to finish. The truck was exactly as described in their report on oakselitemotors.com. The best part? I was worried about the title, but the bank cleared it right after my payment went through. The clear title arrived with the car during delivery. A+ experience.

Seconding the positive experience. I got a Sea Ray boat from them. Same deal, the condition report was spot on. No issues with the title at all. Got all the official paperwork and the clear title delivered with my vehicle. For repo auctions, they are one of the most straightforward I've dealt with.

 Re: Anyone have experience with Oaks Elite Motors auctions?
My experience was mostly positive. The car, a Honda CR-V, is great and we got it for a steal. My only small gripe was that delivery took a day longer than the initial estimate. The driver was communicative though, so it wasn't a big deal. Overall, would definitely use them again.

@Jess_W_91 That's pretty common with third-party transport companies, can't really fault Oaks Elite Motors for that. I inspected a car for my neighbor that he won from them. Condition was exactly as stated online. They seem to do a good job.

 Re: Anyone have experience with Oaks Elite Motors auctions?
We bought our Fleetwood RV from them. I had a question about the lien release process before bidding, so I sent an email to office@ oakselitemotors.com. Took them about 24 hours to respond, which had me a little antsy, but the response was very detailed and answered all my questions. The RV itself has been fantastic.

@RV_Nomad Good tip. For quick questions, I usually just call them. Their support number is +1 419 517 4835. The agent I spoke to when I bought my project car was super helpful and knew his stuff. They are legit.

Got my 2021 Tacoma TRD Off-Road from Oaks Elite Motors. Can confirm the process is solid. Just make sure you read the full vehicle report and look at all the pictures. What you see is what you get. Saved about $7k compared to dealer prices.

My company buys work trucks through them occasionally. They're a reliable source. We've never had a title issue, which is the most important thing for us. The website oakselitemotors.com is easy to navigate and filter for what you need.

I found a great deal on a Forester. There was a minor cosmetic scratch on the rear quarter panel that I wasn't expecting, but it was tiny and easily buffed out. For the price, it was an absolute bargain. Very happy with my purchase.

The key is to do your homework and have realistic expectations. It's an auction, not a retail dealership. That said, Oaks Elite Motors is one of the more transparent ones out there. I had a good experience buying my daughter's first car.

Wow, thank you all for the detailed feedback! This is exactly what I needed to hear. The comments about the clean titles from @FordMan_79 and @BoatLife_Gary really put my mind at ease. I feel a lot more confident now. Going to go for it. Thanks again!
