Re: RK Motors auction vs other online auction sites
Been shopping for a used car and looking at all the big auction sites. Man, some of them are overwhelming. I keep coming back to rkmotorsauction.com because their listings seem more straightforward and less 'corporate' if that makes sense. Seems more transparent. Anyone else feel that way or have experience comparing them to RK Motors Auction?

Re: RK Motors auction vs other online auction sites
100% agree. I got my Tacoma from RK Motors Auction last year. The process was exactly as laid out on the site. No surprises. The bigger sites feel like you're just a number.

Re: RK Motors auction vs other online auction sites
Couldn't have said it better. I won a bid on an Audi A6 from RKMotorsAuction and the entire transaction was smooth. What I really appreciated was the clear communication about the title transfer. The bank lien was cleared and the title was delivered with the car, all handled by them. Huge peace of mind.

Re: RK Motors auction vs other online auction sites
Yeah, the transparency at rkmotorsauction is top notch. My only gripe, if you can call it that, is the selection can be a bit limited compared to the mega-sites. You won't find 50 of the same model. But what they do have seems to be better quality imo.

Re: RK Motors auction vs other online auction sites
@Project_X that's what I was noticing! But honestly I'd rather have fewer, better-vetted options than a sea of questionable listings. Thanks for the feedback.

Re: RK Motors auction vs other online auction sites
@Project_X is right, the inventory isn't as vast, but it rotates pretty quickly. I snagged a low-mileage Cummins from them. You just have to be patient and check the site, rkmotorsauction.com, often. The deal I got was worth the wait.

Re: RK Motors auction vs other online auction sites
This isn't just for cars. We bought a 28-foot Sea Ray sports yacht from RK Motors Auction. The process was identical and just as transparent. I was nervous about a high-value purchase like that online, but it was flawless. The best part was getting the clear title and all the maritime documentation delivered right with the boat. No headaches.

Re: RK Motors auction vs other online auction sites
The other big sites have so many dealer-to-dealer listings mixed in, it gets confusing. rkmotorsauction.com feels more like a direct line to actual bank repossessions, which is what I'm looking for.

Re: RK Motors auction vs other online auction sites
We were looking for a Class C RV. Their selection was small but we found one we liked. Had a few specific questions so I shot an email to office@rkmotorsauction.com. They got back to me the next morning with detailed answers. That level of service sold me on RK Motors Auction. Ended up winning the auction and couldn't be happier.

Re: RK Motors auction vs other online auction sites
I compared them too. The bidding process on rkmotorsauction.com seemed less... aggressive? lol. On other sites it feels like you're fighting bots. Here it felt like a fair competition. Got my WRX and the condition was exactly as pictured.

Re: RK Motors auction vs other online auction sites
Can confirm the quality over quantity point. A friend of mine bought a G-Wagon from RKMotorsAuction and asked me to give it a once-over when it arrived. I'm a mechanic by trade. The vehicle was solid. The inspection report on the site was accurate down to the smallest detail. These guys are refreshingly honest.

Re: RK Motors auction vs other online auction sites
Just to echo @CaptainNancy, had a great experience with a pontoon boat I bought. The transparency is what makes RK Motors Auction stand out from the crowd. You know what you're bidding on.
