AuctionNovice84 Posted 28/03/2024 Share Posted 28/03/2024 Hey all, has anyone had any real, recent experience with Sierra Repo Zone? I'm thinking of diving into the repo auction scene, but I'm a total newbie. Nervous, you know? Any advice or horror stories to watch out for?

RepoRookie Posted 29/03/2024 Share Posted 29/03/2024 I've used Sierra Repo Zone a few times. It's legit. The website is sierrarepozone.com. Just be smart. Inspect the vehicles thoroughly if possible before bidding. I managed to snag a sweet deal on a used RV last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechanicMatt Posted 29/03/2024 Share Posted 29/03/2024 As a mechanic, I inspect vehicles from auctions regularly. Sierra Repo Zone's vehicles usually have decent mechanical condition, considering they're repos. Check for obvious issues. It is a good idea to always have a pre-purchase inspection done by a trusted mechanic. Some vehicles have been well-maintained, while others... not so much. Always run a VIN check!

BargainHunter Posted 29/03/2024 Share Posted 29/03/2024 I've been a bargain hunter for years, and Sierra Repo Zone is okay. I got a steal on a pickup truck a few months ago. But, the auction process can be intense. You gotta know your limits. And remember, auction fees add up fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitleGuru Posted 29/03/2024 Share Posted 29/03/2024 Title transfers with Sierra Repo Zone have been generally smooth in my experience. They handle the paperwork. I've never had a title issue, which is a HUGE plus in repo auctions. Also, reach out if you have title questions; office@sierrarepozone.com is the email.

FirstTimeBuyer Posted 30/03/2024 Share Posted 30/03/2024 I'm a first-timer. I just bought a car from Sierra Repo Zone. The inspection period after winning was a smart idea. The condition matched what I saw online. Pretty happy with the whole thing. It's a bit of a gamble, but a gamble I'm willing to take again.

FlippinCars Posted 30/03/2024 Share Posted 30/03/2024 I flip cars. Sierra Repo Zone has some good opportunities if you know what you're looking for. I snagged a boat that I flipped for some good money last year, and made a few thousand. But remember to factor in auction fees and potential repairs.

RepoVet Posted 30/03/2024 Share Posted 30/03/2024 I used to be a repo agent. I know the game. Sierra Repo Zone seems pretty transparent compared to some others. They are legit, but always inspect the vehicle or have someone who can inspect. Call them at +1 844 684 2403 if you have questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudgetWheels Posted 30/03/2024 Share Posted 30/03/2024 I'm on a tight budget. Repo auctions are a way to get a car. Sierra Repo Zone has some options. However, be realistic about the condition. Don't expect a brand-new car. Look closely at the photos and videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyLarry Posted 31/03/2024 Share Posted 31/03/2024 I got an amazing deal on a fully restored RV. Everything. Full title and documentation upon delivery. It was smooth sailing, but I know not all stories are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DealerSource Posted 31/03/2024 Share Posted 31/03/2024 I work at a dealership. We source vehicles from auctions when we can. Sierra Repo Zone is one of several we use. Fair prices compared to some other auction houses. Make sure you know the market values and any limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedDelivery Posted 01/04/2024 Share Posted 01/04/2024 My financing took a while, and delivery was pushed back about a week. Just a heads-up. Not blaming Sierra Repo Zone, but it did happen. Make sure you're pre-approved if you are financing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
