Yard report from Asheville, NC: Blue Ridge Auto Exchange runs about 132 vehicles, weighted toward 4x4 and off-road rigs. Dealer permit posted at the office window; checked against the state board and it is current, roughly 9 years on the books.
Lot address: 1075 Trailhead Rd, Asheville, NC. Visitor parking: Front-lot customer stalls facing the office; overflow on the side street near Asheville lot gate.
- Doc fee: $449, printed on the buyer's order — not a surprise line at signing.
- They would not release a unit for an off-site PPI; inspect on the lot or walk.
- Titles: staff says about 83% of units have title in hand; they showed the folder when asked.
- Coverage: a 30-day/1,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Lane verdict: legitimate operation. Fee sheet matched the quote, title work was clean, and the 4x4 and off-road rigs inventory was priced inside auction-plus-recon math. Would bid against them and lose happily.
