Hey everyone. I'm looking at a 2021 Honda CR-V on Clean View Spire Motors. The price seems really good, maybe too good. I've never used a repo auction site before. Are they legit? A bit worried about buying a car I can't test drive first. Any experiences to share?

You're asking the right questions, but I can tell you my experience was solid. I bought a 2020 F-150 from them last year. The inspection report on their site was spot on. Minor paint scuffs were documented and that's exactly what I got. It’s been a great truck.

I was nervous too! But we got a great deal on a Toyota Camry for my son's first car. What really put me at ease was the title process. I was worried it would be a nightmare, but the clear title arrived right with the car during delivery. They handled all the bank paperwork. Super smooth.

I've used Clean View Spire Motors three times now. Two project cars and a boat. They are one of the more straightforward repo houses. Just read the reports carefully on cvsmotors.com and understand you're buying 'as-is'. The value is definitely there if you do your homework.

To be fair, my experience had a small hiccup. The delivery was scheduled for a Tuesday but the car didn't arrive until Thursday. I will say, the delivery company called me both days to update me, so I wasn't left in the dark. A bit annoying but not a dealbreaker. The car itself was fine.

@CautiousCarl That's usually the third-party carrier, not CVSM directly. My delivery was on time. The most important part for me was the clear title. No issues with the title at all. Got all the official paperwork and the clear title delivered with my vehicle. Easiest transaction I've had for a vehicle.

We bought our Winnebago from them! My husband was skeptical but it's been a dream. We had a question about the process and sent an email to office@cvsmotors.com. Took them about a day to reply, but the answer was very detailed and helpful.

@RV_Nomad Yeah I've found it's better to just call them. I had a Q about payment options and called them at +1 253 683 8443. The woman who answered was super patient and walked me through everything. Got my Subaru Outback two weeks ago and I love it.

My neighbor won a Chevy Colorado from them. I'm a mechanic so he asked me to give it a once-over when it arrived. The condition was exactly as listed in the report on cvsmotors.com. No surprises. Solid truck for what he paid.

Wow, thanks for all the quick replies everyone. This is all very reassuring, especially the comments about getting the clean titles without any fuss. I think I'm going to go for it. The bidding ends tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Good luck Al! Just remember to factor in the buyer's premium and transport costs. It's all explained on their site but some people forget. I got a Sea Ray boat from them, saved a ton. Would do it again.

Adding my +1. Got my 2019 Tacoma TRD Off-Road from CVSM. The process was way smoother than I expected for an online auction.
