Yard report from Charleston, SC: Palmetto Coast Motors runs about 71 vehicles, weighted toward late-model luxury cars. Dealer permit posted at the office window; checked against the state board and it is current, roughly 22 years on the books.
Lot address: 1949 Premier Ln, Charleston, SC. Visitor parking: Front-lot customer stalls facing the office; overflow on the side street near Charleston lot gate.
- Doc fee: $399, 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 88% of units have title in hand; they showed the folder when asked.
- Coverage: no warranty — as-is, but any inspection welcome.
Lane verdict: legitimate operation. Fee sheet matched the quote, title work was clean, and the late-model luxury cars inventory was priced inside auction-plus-recon math. Would bid against them and lose happily.
