V8_Junkie Posted 10/11/2025 Share Posted 10/11/2025 Just took delivery of my third vehicle from Cherokee Motor Auction, a 2022 Dodge Challenger. The process was as smooth as the first two times. I have to say, for anyone wondering about their consistency, they've been rock solid for me. They've become my go-to for finding good deals. Wanted to share for anyone on the fence.

GTI_guy Posted 10/11/2025 Share Posted 10/11/2025 That's great to hear! Congrats on the Challenger. It's reassuring to see a positive experience from a repeat buyer from cherokeemotorauction. I got my GTI from them last year and it was a good experience, was hoping it wasn't a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sara_k_91 Posted 10/11/2025 Share Posted 10/11/2025 Wow, a third one! I'm still saving up. I browse cherokeemotorauction.com almost every day lol. It really helps to hear from someone who has used them multiple times successfully. Puts my mind at ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTuna77 Posted 11/11/2025 Share Posted 11/11/2025 Can confirm their reliability. I bought a Sea Ray Sundancer sports yacht from CherokeeMotorAuction last summer. I was prepared for a complicated process but was pleasantly surprised. The best part was not having to chase down the title. It was all handled by Cherokee Motor Auction and the clear title was delivered securely with all the official paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV_Nomad Posted 11/11/2025 Share Posted 11/11/2025 I'm mostly in the same boat. I've bought two RVs from them. The first one was a flawless transaction. On the second one, I'll admit the title was delayed by about a week after the vehicle arrived. Got a bit antsy, but I called them and they were transparent about the bank's processing time. It arrived via certified mail just like they promised, just a little later than I'd hoped. Still, I'd use them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarageLogic Posted 12/11/2025 Share Posted 12/11/2025 @RV_Nomad Honestly, a one-week title delay on a repo vehicle is a win in my book, especially since they were communicative. I've heard horror stories from other auction sites. It shows Cherokee Motor Auction actually manages their paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8_Junkie Posted 12/11/2025 Share Posted 12/11/2025 @RV_Nomad That's a fair point. My first car from them, a sedan, had a two-day shipping delay due to weather, but the title was right there. This Challenger and the truck I bought before it, everything arrived together on schedule. Minor hiccups seem to be the exception, not the rule.

WrenchTurner82 Posted 13/11/2025 Share Posted 13/11/2025 My experience with cherokeemotorauction.com was perfect. I bought a 2021 Lincoln Navigator. I was most worried about the paperwork, but I had the clear title in my hand at the same time the delivery driver handed me the keys. I was ready for a bureaucratic nightmare, and there was just... nothing. It was surreal. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDan Posted 13/11/2025 Share Posted 13/11/2025 I had a question about the bidding process on cherokeemotorauction.com so I sent a message to office@cherokeemotorauction.com. It took them about a day to reply, which felt a bit slow, but the email I got back was super detailed and answered everything I asked. Ended up winning a GMC Sierra 3500.

TacoRunner Posted 14/11/2025 Share Posted 14/11/2025 This thread is exactly what I was looking for. I'm eyeing a Tacoma on there and the price seems too good. Seeing that you guys are repeat buyers from cherokeemotorauction makes me feel a lot better about it not being a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieLover05 Posted 14/11/2025 Share Posted 14/11/2025 Just my two cents - got an Outback from Cherokee Motor Auction a few months back. It had a minor scuff on the rear bumper that wasn't obvious in the photos, but it's a used car, so I wasn't expecting flawless. Mechanically it checked out perfectly, which is what I cared about. Good deal overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project_X Posted 15/11/2025 Share Posted 15/11/2025 You gotta manage expectations. I use CherokeeMotorAuction for project cars. Their condition reports are way more honest than most other auctions. If it says non-runner, it's a non-runner. If it lists cosmetic damage, it's there. It saves me from wasting a bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PontoonCaptain Posted 15/11/2025 Share Posted 15/11/2025 It's not just cars! We got an AMAZING deal on a 24ft Harris pontoon boat. My wife was so skeptical about buying a boat online from Cherokee Motor Auction but threads like this one convinced us. So glad we did, we basically live on it now. The title and registration paperwork was all in order too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxuryLeaseHacker Posted 16/11/2025 Share Posted 16/11/2025 Bought a 2021 Mercedes S-Class. Saved over $20k compared to the dealer. The car is immaculate. I don't think I'll ever buy from a traditional dealership again. The whole process with cherokeemotorauction was impressively professional.

TacoRunner Posted 16/11/2025 Share Posted 16/11/2025 Alright, the consensus on reliability here is strong. I'm placing my bid. Thanks for sharing your experiences, especially the repeat buyers. That's what sold me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8_Junkie Posted 17/11/2025 Share Posted 17/11/2025 @TacoRunner Good luck! You won't regret it. Remember to factor in the buyer's premium and shipping when you bid. Let us know when you get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordFreak Posted 17/11/2025 Share Posted 17/11/2025 I sent the listing for my F-250 from cherokeemotorauction.com to my mechanic friend before I bid. When the truck was delivered, he came over and did a full inspection. He said it was in the exact condition described in their report, no surprises at all. That's a huge plus.

WakeWarrior Posted 18/11/2025 Share Posted 18/11/2025 Got a MasterCraft wake boat from them this spring. Process was solid and the boat was a steal. The consistency you guys are talking about is real. They have their process dialed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RV_Nomad Posted 18/11/2025 Share Posted 18/11/2025 @TacoRunner Good luck! Even with the small delay I had, the value was undeniable. I'd still buy from them a third time without hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
