RepoHunter Posted 20/11/2024 Share Posted 20/11/2024 NC Repo Zone is legit. I've been going for a couple years. The auctions can be intense, but I've found some decent cars. Just do your homework before bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGal Posted 20/11/2024 Share Posted 20/11/2024 I've bought a couple of cars from them. Definitely inspect the vehicles thoroughly during the preview period. Also, factor in the fees. They add up quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitleGuru Posted 20/11/2024 Share Posted 20/11/2024 Titles can sometimes take a while. I had to follow up a few times, so stay on top of it. You can also call them at +1 866-930-3429 for title status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechanicMike Posted 21/11/2024 Share Posted 21/11/2024 I examine a lot of cars from NC Repo Zone. The condition varies wildly. Some are great deals, some need a lot of work. Check for hidden damage, especially frame rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BargainBrian Posted 21/11/2024 Share Posted 21/11/2024 I got a great deal on a truck last year. Paid way less than it was worth, even after repairs. But always budget for *something* going wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinFred Posted 21/11/2024 Share Posted 21/11/2024 I flip cars, and NC Repo Zone is a regular stop. Patience is key. Don't get caught up in a bidding war. Know your max bid and stick to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstTimeBuyer Posted 21/11/2024 Share Posted 21/11/2024 I went to the auction last month. It was overwhelming, but I was prepared thanks to online research. ncrepozone.com has the listings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCRepoman Posted 21/11/2024 Share Posted 21/11/2024 Keep in mind that most vehicles are sold 'as-is'. You get a limited inspection period. Don't expect perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudgetWheels Posted 22/11/2024 Share Posted 22/11/2024 I was hoping for financing, but my bank wouldn't do it for a repo car. NC Repo Zone might not be able to help with financing, so be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkepticalSam Posted 22/11/2024 Share Posted 22/11/2024 I found significant damage that wasn't disclosed. I got a car from NC Repo Zone , and I felt a little burned. I was trying to contact them, but it took a while to get an answer. You might want to email them (info@ncrepozone.com) before you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarCollector Posted 22/11/2024 Share Posted 22/11/2024 I've snagged a few classic cars at NC Repo Zone auctions – always a thrill. But those bidding wars can get heated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinanceFan Posted 22/11/2024 Share Posted 22/11/2024 Check your bank's policy on repo car loans *before* the auction. Some financing options aren't available.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedCarPro Posted 22/11/2024 Share Posted 22/11/2024 The auction staff at NC Repo Zone seems to be doing a decent job. Don't expect them to tell you everything about the car, tho---they sell as-is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuctionAddict Posted 22/11/2024 Share Posted 22/11/2024 I've been to a bunch of auctions, but NC Repo Zone is reliable. The prices are usually good, but you gotta be quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RepoRookie Posted 23/11/2024 Share Posted 23/11/2024 The inspection period felt rushed. I wish I had more time to check everything. They have a lot of cars, so it's hard to look at everything. Take a friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDave Posted 23/11/2024 Share Posted 23/11/2024 NC Repo Zone is a good option because it's a local auction. I've found some gems there over the years. Sometimes you find a good deal on a diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitleTrouble Posted 23/11/2024 Share Posted 23/11/2024 I had a title issue with one car. It took longer than promised. I'm gonna call the +1 866-930-3429 number next time I have questions. Not sure if it's the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarCrazy Posted 23/11/2024 Share Posted 23/11/2024 I always check the vehicle history report before bidding. It can save you a lot of headaches. Also, expect to pay a buyer's premium on top of your winning bid at NC Repo Zone. Makes the final price go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheapWheels Posted 23/11/2024 Share Posted 23/11/2024 I went to one of their auctions. It's a hustle, for sure. But I got a usable car for cheap. If you know what you're doing, you might find a good deal. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
