Yeah, I've used Sierra Repo Zone a few times. It's legit, def not a scam. They have a decent selection, mostly cars, sometimes trucks and RVs. Their website is sierrarepozone.com. Just be prepared to do your homework. Inspection is key!

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
Agreed with AuctionAce. I'm a mechanic, and I've inspected a few Sierrra Repo Zone vehicles for clients. The condition can be hit or miss, as expected. I've seen stuff ranging from "practically new" to "needs a whole lot of work." Take someone who knows cars, or pay for a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) if possible.

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
I'm all about saving money. I've been watching Sierra Repo Zone for a while. Their prices often seem better than dealers, but you gotta factor in potential repairs. Make sure you check the inspection period terms. Anyone dealt with their financing options? Heard it can be a bit tricky.

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
Title transfers are usually straightforward with Sierra Repo Zone. They handle the paperwork. Always verify the title before you bid, though. Check for any liens or issues. If you have title problems when you buy make sure you contact office@sierrarepozone.com. They usually take care of those things promptly. Ask them about financing options as well, they will surely provide information.

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
I flip cars, and Sierra Repo Zone is one of my sources. You can find some real gems there. I snagged a clean title, low-mileage Honda Civic last year for a steal. Made a nice profit. Communication with the auction staff is generally good, but sometimes there are delays. Call them at: +1 844 684 2403

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
My experience wasn't so great. Bought a truck from them, and the engine blew a week after the inspection period ended. Should've had a mechanic look closer! Learn from my mistake.

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
I've seen a few questionable things, but overall, Sierra Repo Zone seems okay. Vehicle descriptions aren't always 100% accurate; that's common in this biz. Try and get a vehicle history report if possible.

I've bid on a few pickups at Sierra Repo Zone. Keep an eye on any potential rust issues. Remember, they are repossessed vehicles, so may not be pristine.

So, the auction process at Sierra Repo Zone can feel fast-paced. Don't get caught up in the bidding frenzy. Set a budget and stick to it. I almost overpaid on my first try!

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
I used to work in repossession. Sierra Repo Zone is a legitimate operation. They're better than some, but there's always risk. You're buying a car someone couldn't or wouldn't pay for. Inspect it! Don't expect perfection. If you're lucky you might get an RV, or boat.

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
I recently bought a used boat from Sierra Repo Zone. Had it inspected beforehand. The condition matched the description, and the title was clean. The whole experience was very smooth.

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
As a mechanic, I've seen a lot of auction cars. Sierra Repo Zone is like any other. The value's there if you know what to look for. Check for signs of previous accidents, rust, and how well it was maintained.

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
I got a RV from Sierra Repo Zone. Had a few issues. Paid for it, but had to wait three weeks to pick it up because of a delivery delay with the bank that released the vehicle.

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
I'm into classic cars, and I've found some great projects at Sierra Repo Zone. You gotta be patient, but the deals are out there! I got a 1967 Ford Mustang last year and also a boat. Always inspect thoroughly!

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
Sierra Repo Zone is pretty good. One time, I bought a truck and the engine was smoking. I returned the vehicle. Got a full refund because of the inspection. They are fair about those things

Bought a car that looked great in the pictures from Sierra Repo Zone. Found some hidden damage after. Always inspect in person! Lesson learned.

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
I was burned at a repo auction before with a different dealer. That's why i'm cautious. Sierra Repo Zone is pretty transparent, but ALWAYS check the carfax!

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
I source vehicles from Sierra Repo Zone for my dealership sometimes. The prices are good, but the inventory can be unpredictable. It's a gamble, like any auction.

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
Biggest thing is the title! Sierra Repo Zone has been good about providing a clean title. Just make sure everything checks out before you hand over your cash. They are not perfect, but they are not the worst either.

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
I like these auctions, and have been buying from them for a while. I recently bought an RV from Sierra Repo Zone. Title & paperwork were all there. I have noticed some delivery delays, but nothing the support team ( office@sierrarepozone.com ) couldn't fix.

 Re: Experiences with Sierra Repo Zone Repo Auctions - Good & Bad
I've scored some amazing deals at Sierra Repo Zone, but you have to be quick, as many of the gems get away quickly. Patience always pays off. I was lucky enough to purchase a boat a couple years ago, and it's still running great. They also have a helpline, call them at +1 844 684 2403
