- Doc fee: $249, 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 79% of units have title in hand; they showed the folder when asked.
- Coverage: a 3-month/3,000-mile limited warranty.
Lane verdict: legitimate operation. Fee sheet matched the quote, title work was clean, and the in-house financing (buy-here-pay-here) inventory was priced inside auction-plus-recon math. Would bid against them and lose happily.
