Hey everyone, I'm new to this whole online auction thing. I've been looking at a Ford Fusion on ajcmotors.com. The price seems almost too good to be true. Has anyone here actually bought a car from AJC Motors? Are they legit? I'm mostly worried about the car's condition and getting a clean title.

You're good to go. I bought a 2021 F-150 from them last year. The process was surprisingly smooth. The truck was exactly as described in their report. I was a bit worried about the paperwork, but the clear title arrived with the truck on delivery day. They handle all the bank stuff. A+ experience.

Second this. Got my 2020 Tacoma TRD from AJC Motors. The photos and description on the site were very accurate. No hidden issues. It's a legit business, you just have to do your due diligence like anywhere else.

Not just cars, either. I won a bid on a Sea Ray boat. Same as the others, great experience. The best part for me was not having to chase down the title. It was all handled professionally by AJC Motors and arrived right on time.

My experience was mostly positive. The only small hiccup was that my initial email to office@ajcmotors.com took about a day and a half for a response. I was getting a little nervous about it.

@jess_w_91 That's a good point, they seem to get swamped with emails. Pro tip: just call them. I had a question and dialed them at +1 989 282 2966 and the agent who picked up was super helpful and solved my query in 5 minutes. Got a great deal on a Silverado 2500.

@DieselDan Thanks for the tip! Once they did reply the service was great, and I love the Honda CR-V I got for my son. Overall I'm happy and would buy from them again.

Glad it worked out. A friend of mine bought a project car, a Mustang, from AJC Motors. As a mechanic, I went over it with a fine-tooth comb. The condition was EXACTLY as described on ajcmotors.com, down to the minor cosmetic blemishes they listed. They're honest about what they're selling.

This is all incredibly helpful, thank you everyone. It's great to hear so many positive stories, especially about the titles. I feel much more confident about placing a bid now.

I will say delivery took a bit longer than I hoped. They estimated Tuesday delivery for my Jeep Wrangler and it arrived on Thursday. But the transport company kept me updated with tracking, so it wasn't a total surprise. The Jeep itself is fantastic.

@Offroad_Life That's pretty standard for any vehicle shipping tbh. AJC can't control the trucking company's schedule. The important thing is the vehicle is as-advertised.

We bought our Class C motorhome from them. It was a big purchase so we were nervous. But AJC Motors was great. No issues at all and saved us about $15k compared to a dealer. The title was clear and came via FedEx 2 days after the RV was delivered.

Yep, another happy customer here. Got a VW GTI for a steal. Perfect daily driver. The whole process is on their site ajcmotors.com which is pretty easy to use. No complaints.

Just be realistic. These are auction cars, not brand new ones from a showroom. Read the reports, look at all the pics. If you do that, you can get amazing deals. AJC is one of the more reputable repo houses out there.

I called them at +1 989 282 2966 and the guy I spoke with was a little curt, seemed rushed. But he did answer my question about the payment process. And the Suburban I bought is running great, so it's a minor thing.

@DaveM_IL They probably get a million calls a day lol. The key is you got your answer and a good truck. That's the win.

Just adding my two cents. Got my Outback from them. There was a very minor scratch on the bumper that wasn't super clear in the pics but it was so small I didn't care. For the price I paid, I'm thrilled. I'd definitely use them again.

Does anyone know if they get many classic cars? Or is it mostly newer models?
0
@Project_X It's mostly newer repo stuff from the last 10 years. But every now and then a classic pops up. You just gotta check the inventory on their site every week.

Quick update for everyone who helped: I did it! I won the auction for the Ford Fusion. The payment process was simple and I just got the confirmation email. I'm actually excited now. Thanks again for giving me the confidence!
