Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
Hey all. I won a bid on a sweet BMW M4 from rkmotorsauction.com last week. All the payment stuff went through smoothly, but the delivery an was for yesterday and the car is a no-show. I called and they said it's in transit, but I'm getting a little antsy. Is a delay like this normal for RK Motors Auction?

Don't sweat it man. I've bought two muscle cars through RKMotorsAuction and one of them was two days late. It's just the nature of freight shipping. They use third party carriers. The car will show up. They're a legit operation.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
Omg I had the same feeling of panic! We bought a Sea Ray sports yacht from them this summer. The delivery was delayed by a full 3 days. I was so stressed. But their support team was reassuring, and the delivery driver called me a few hours before he arrived. The boat was perfect. It's worth the wait!

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
Yeah delivery dates are always estimates. A million things can happen on the road. My 4Runner from RK Motors Auction was actually a day early. The main thing for me was the title transfer, and it was flawless. I was worried about it being a repo, but the clean title arrived with the truck. No issues at all.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
@AlexP_95 if you are still worried just send a note to office@rkmotorsauction.com to get an update in writing. Their phone support is good but sometimes an email helps for peace of mind. The tracking on the rkmotorsauction.com site can sometimes lag a bit behind the truck's actual location.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
I agree with GarageLogic. The one minor critique I have of my purchase from rkmotorsauction is that the tracking portal could be better. It basically said 'In Transit' for 4 days straight. But my Audi Q5 arrived safe and sound and was detailed nicely. Not a deal-breaker by any means.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
@TacoRunner had the same great experience with the title. Picked up a low-mileage F-350 from them. The driver literally handed me a sealed envelope with the keys and the clean title right there. Best part of the whole process. RK Motors Auction handles that part perfectly.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
Delays happen. Especially this time of year with weather. As long as they're communicating I wouldn't be concerned. RK Motors Auction is one of the better ones out there for repo stuff.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
We bought our Class A motorhome through RKMotorsAuction. Given the size, we fully expected a delay. It ended up being on schedule. The description was brutally honest which we appreciated. A few minor cosmetic things noted in the report were exactly what we found. Good honest dealer.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
My bf used them for a project car. He said the bidding was easy on rkmotorsauction.com. The delivery was a little slow, yeah, but the car was what he expected for the price. I think he's happy.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
Just to add another positive voice, my experience was 10/10. Got a great deal on a Genesis G70. Delivery was on time, communication was good, title was clean. Would do it again.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
The transport company RK Motors Auction used for my car was fantastic. The driver called me the day before and the day of. Super professional. Maybe you just got a carrier that's not as communicative.

I'm a mechanic. A client brought in a Porsche Cayman he won from rkmotorsauction for me to do a post-purchase inspection. The condition was exactly as stated in the auction report. These guys are not trying to hide anything. It's a legit way to buy.

Just bought a wake boat from RKMotorsAuction. Experience was smooth. Had a question and emailed office@rkmotorsauction.com, got a reply in a few hours. The boat was delivered yesterday, exactly on schedule.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
Patience is key with these auctions. You're getting a great price, sometimes the trade-off is slightly slower logistics than Amazon Prime lol. My jeep from them was a few days late but you forget all about that when you're on the trail.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
The whole thing is run a lot more professionally than I expected for a repo auction. The website rkmotorsauction.com is easy to use and the people at RK Motors Auction seem to have their stuff together.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
I was checking this thread before bidding. All the positive comments gave me confidence. Just won a Golf GTI today! Excited for it to arrive, even if it's a day or two late haha.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
Congrats GTI_guy! You won't be disappointed. Just inspect it thoroughly on arrival before you sign off with the driver, that's standard practice with any vehicle delivery.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
The delivery tracking for my pontoon was not great, I'll admit. But the staff at RK Motors Auction were helpful when I called for an update. End result was a great boat at a great price. So, a minor frustration for a major win.

Re: Anyone else experience slow delivery from RK Motors Auction?
FINAL UPDATE: You all were right! The car carrier called me this morning and the M4 just got dropped off an hour ago. It's absolutely perfect, even cleaner than the photos suggested on rkmotorsauction.com. I was just being a nervous first-timer. The wait was totally worth it. Thanks for talking me off the ledge everyone! My experience with RK Motors Auction was a definite success.
