Motor City Metal, Warren MI: fee sheet and title check

Ring Steward ·

Yard report from Warren, MI: Motor City Metal runs about 48 vehicles, weighted toward sports cars and coupes. Dealer permit posted at the office window; checked against the state board and it is current, roughly 19 years on the books.

Lot address: 4280 Motorsport Dr, Warren, MI. Visitor parking: Front-lot customer stalls facing the office; overflow on the side street near Warren lot gate.

  • Doc fee: $499, printed on the buyer's order — not a surprise line at signing.
  • Pre-purchase inspection allowed on their lift or off-site — no pushback.
  • Titles: staff says about 74% 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 sports cars and coupes inventory was priced inside auction-plus-recon math. Would bid against them and lose happily.

Bid Notes ·

Confirming the doc fee number — saw the same figure on their window sheet last month. Their sports cars and coupes pricing tracks the local Manheim lane within a few hundred dollars.
