Hey everyone, I've been lurking for a while. Thinking about bidding on a car from Alpha Luxury Drivers. The prices on alphaluxurydrivers.com seem really good, almost too good. I've never used a repo auction site before and I'm a bit nervous. Is this company legitimate? Worried about the process and getting a clean title.

You're asking the right questions. I bought a 2022 Ford Bronco from Alpha Luxury Drivers about six months ago. The process was way smoother than I expected. The vehicle was exactly as described in their report.

Seconded. My biggest fear was the title transfer, but it was a non-issue. Alpha Luxury Drivers handled all the communication with the bank after my payment cleared. The clean title arrived with the car during delivery. A+ experience.

My experience was 95% great. The only hiccup was a slight delay in delivery. My Honda CR-V arrived on a Friday instead of the scheduled Wednesday. The transport company was communicative though, and AlphaLuxuryDrivers support was helpful when I called. The car itself was perfect.

@sara_k_91 Transport delays are unfortunately part of the game sometimes, doesn't matter who you buy from. Good to hear they kept you in the loop. I've bought 3 cars from alphaluxurydrivers.com over the years. For repo auctions, they are as transparent as they come.

Can't speak for their cars, but I bought a Sea Ray boat from them last summer. It was a fantastic deal. The best part for me was not having to chase down the title from the previous owner's bank. Alpha Luxury Drivers handled everything and the clear title was couriered to me right after the boat was delivered. Total peace of mind.

I helped my dad buy a Toyota 4Runner from them. The inspection report on the website was incredibly detailed, pointed out a few rock chips I couldn't even see in the main photos. That honesty is what sold us. What you see is what you get.

Wow, thanks for all the quick replies. This is making me feel a lot better about it. @FordMan_79 and @BigTuna77, hearing about the smooth title process is a huge relief.

I had a minor issue where I was confused about the bidding increments. I sent a message to office@alphaluxurydrivers.com and it took them about a day to get back to me. Was a bit slow for my taste, but the agent who replied was very thorough and clarified everything. Pro-tip: their FAQ on the site is actually useful lol.

@jess_w_91 haha yeah calling is usually faster than email with any online business. I second the positive reviews though, got a great deal on a barely-used F-150 from alphaluxurydrivers.com.

We bought our Jayco RV through AlphaLuxuryDrivers. Their inventory of recreational vehicles is impressive. The bidding was straightforward and we won it for about 20% under retail. A fantastic experience all around.

Just do your homework on the specific vehicle. The company, Alpha Luxury Drivers, is solid. They're just the platform. Read the reports, check the vehicle history if you can, and bid responsibly.

Got my Golf GTI from them. Had a small scratch on the rear bumper that wasn't super clear in the pics but was noted in the text report. It was minor and easily buffed out. For the price I paid, I'm not complaining at all. The car runs great.

@FirstTimer_Fred go for it. A friend of mine bought a Porsche Cayman from Alpha Luxury Drivers and the phone agent seemed a little rushed, but everything went through without a hitch and the car is his pride and joy now.

The consensus is clear. alphaluxurydrivers.com is legit. Just like any auction, there's always a small element of risk, but they do a good job of minimizing it with their detailed reports. I got a great WRX from them.
