AuctionNovice77 Posted 22/08/2024 Share Posted 22/08/2024 Hey everyone, thinking of trying out NC Repo Zone. Anyone here got experience buying vehicles from them? What's the auction process like, and are the deals actually worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearHeadGreg Posted 22/08/2024 Share Posted 22/08/2024 I've been to NC Repo Zone a few times. It's pretty straightforward. You register, get a bidder number, and the auctioneer calls out the vehicles. Know what you're bidding on, tho. Never bid on a car after a long night if ya get my drift!

TitleGuruTim Posted 23/08/2024 Share Posted 23/08/2024 The title process can be a bit slow, but generally, NC Repo Zone does a good job of providing clean titles. Just be patient. They'll provide temporary tags after you win the bid. Make sure you inspect the vehicle history! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RepoRookieRick Posted 23/08/2024 Share Posted 23/08/2024 I was the first timer at NC Repo Zone a few months back. It was a total rush! Got a decent pickup for a steal, but it needed some work. Check everything, folks, even the stuff you don’t think about. And remember, their phone number is +1 866-930-3429 if you have questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechanicMikey Posted 23/08/2024 Share Posted 23/08/2024 I'm a mechanic, and I often get calls to inspect vehicles from NC Repo Zone for my clients. The condition varies WILDLY. Some cars are pristine; others… well, let's just say they've seen better days. I recommend a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) from a trusted mechanic before bidding, and you might wanna call info@ncrepozone.com with questions.

AuctionFlipperFred Posted 24/08/2024 Share Posted 24/08/2024 NC Repo Zone is alright. I flip cars, and I’ve found some good deals there. You gotta be quick, know your values, and don't get emotional. They usually have a good selection, but the fees can add up, so factor 'em in. Check ncrepozone.com for the auction schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudgetBuyerBetty Posted 24/08/2024 Share Posted 24/08/2024 I had a tough time. Thought I got a great deal, but the car needed a bunch of repairs. Be super careful about hidden damage. I wish I took my time and was less excited about a great deal. My fault, I guess, but still… sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarCollectorCarl Posted 24/08/2024 Share Posted 24/08/2024 NC Repo Zone isn't bad, but you got to do your homework. I've been able to find a couple of older models that I can restore. They come and sometimes go fast, so you have to be online all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinancingFrank Posted 25/08/2024 Share Posted 25/08/2024 Financing at repo auctions can be tricky. NC Repo Zone usually doesn’t offer in-house financing, so you'll need to secure your own loan beforehand. Be sure to check with your bank or credit union about their policies on financing vehicles purchased at auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuctionAnnie Posted 25/08/2024 Share Posted 25/08/2024 I had a positive experience overall. I got a nice SUV recently. Title transfer took a little longer than I expected, but it eventually came through. The staff at NC Repo Zone was pretty helpful when I called. +1 866-930-3429 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RepomanRyan Posted 25/08/2024 Share Posted 25/08/2024 I used to work for a repo company, and I've seen a lot of auctions, and I can tell you that vehicles come from a variety of sources. So some are good and some are a mess, so keep in mind where the vehicle comes from. NC Repo Zone tends to be reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectionIan Posted 26/08/2024 Share Posted 26/08/2024 Don't skip the inspection period. Yes, you only get a limited time to check out the cars, but use it wisely. Check everything you can. Look for rust. Check fluids. Open and close all the doors. Test all the electronics. If you're not mechanically inclined, bring someone who is. And don't forget to check NC Repo Zone's website for all auction information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SellerSamantha Posted 26/08/2024 Share Posted 26/08/2024 My experience was a total nightmare. I drove 3 hours to find that the car had massive engine damage. I should have asked more questions and done more research. I contacted info@ncrepozone.com, but I don't think they could have done anything.

DealershipDave Posted 26/08/2024 Share Posted 26/08/2024 I have been checking out NC Repo Zone a few times. Sometimes, my dealership finds good inventory there, and then sometimes...they're a total bust. The key is to know the market value and to be ready to walk away.

CarCrazyChris Posted 27/08/2024 Share Posted 27/08/2024 I'm a car enthusiast, and I love going to repo auctions just to see what interesting vehicles pop up. NC Repo Zone usually has a pretty good selection, but it varies from week to week. Sometimes they have a 'unicorn' car. But you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

BurnedOnceBrenda Posted 27/08/2024 Share Posted 27/08/2024 I had a terrible experience at a different auction a few years ago and was leery to try another but decided to check out NC Repo Zone since so many others were having positive outcomes. It really makes me cautious. It's a gamble. I'd budget for repairs, even if the car looks okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearBoxGary Posted 27/08/2024 Share Posted 27/08/2024 I found out after I bought a car, there was some hidden damage that I didn’t see during the inspection period, but no huge problems. I really only spent a couple hundred cleaning it up. You take a risk, that’s the nature of the beast, and that's why the prices are good compared to a dealer.

ExceptionalEd Posted 28/08/2024 Share Posted 28/08/2024 I scored BIG at NC Repo Zone a few months ago. Got a luxury car for a fraction of what it's worth! It had a minor issue that was easy to fix. I know a lot of people have had troubles, but I gotta say it was a great deal. I'd go back any day, after I check their site and schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickTitleTina Posted 28/08/2024 Share Posted 28/08/2024 I work with titles, and I can say that NC Repo Zone typically handles title transfers pretty well, but things can get backed up sometimes. Double-check the paperwork and follow up if you don't hear anything within a reasonable time frame. Know that you can call +1 866-930-3429 for help if needed.

AuctionAdventurer Posted 29/08/2024 Share Posted 29/08/2024 All in all, NC Repo Zone seems like a decent place to buy. It can be risky, sure, but the prices are often worth it. Do your research, inspect carefully, and set a firm budget. I always check ncrepozone.com before I go to see what’s coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
