Eric and Mathew were fantastic in helping facilitate getting into a used box truck. Eric went above and beyond to help me test drive some trucks. Mathew was extremely helpful in the financing and made it super simple to get everything squared away.

Bought a 2020 freightliner m2 106 photos on the ad looked good. I didn't notice that the pics of the driver seat was either doctored or the seat was switched. When I got truck the the driver's bottom was horrible and i mean horrible. The seat looks like it's from the 90's. Whole left side bottom is gone. Battery was dead when i got there then check engine light was on turns out it has def problems. Smh. I live in Mi and flew down to Atl and drove it back. Beware of the $800 doc fee they add for Georgia trucks too. Spent 19k now I have to spend alot more to make it right...

I bought a Ford Transit 250 from Penske…

I bought a Ford Transit 250 from Penske auction and the vehicle seems to be just as stated and very good, The people that I spoke to and emailed with seemed very nice and helpful. On the site its says no hidden fees but that is not true. I was charged a $799.00 administrative fee, $4.00 electronic processing fee, $2.00 temporary tag fee and Other taxes $40.15 I am not sure what that is. so be aware that there are fees that I can not find disclosed anywhere. I keep seeing "pay what you bid no buyers fees or hidden fees".
The only other thing is that they will call to make sure that everything is good and then try to pressure you into buying the warranty and when you dont they seem to get a bit less interested in you.

Eddie, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that your Ford Transit 250 met your expectations and that our team was helpful throughout the process.

We also appreciate your honesty regarding the fees and warranty experience. Overall, there are no fees added to our auction sales, except for states where we provide dealer services - the administrative fee.

Regarding the warranty conversations, we apologize if it came across as pressure—that is never our intention. Your feedback is valuable and will help us improve our customer experience moving forward.

Thank you again for your purchase and for taking the time to provide detailed feedback.
