Default Importance of the CarFax report.

Just wanted to pop on here real quick and show you guys how crooked used car dealerships are.

My old Ram is now on the lot ready for a new home, but check out the listing.

NO KNOWN BODYWORK
EXCELLENT ORIGINAL PAINT
NON SMOKER
TIRES AT 80% TREAD
And a couple other things I know to be untrue. It's just wrong. Glad to see they left my sh!tter pipe intake on there. lol

NO WAY!!!! you have to be kidding me!! Did you tell them about the accident? I mean maybe they just don't know any better. but if they knew and are blatantly lying about it thats different

Yes I was upfront with them about the wreck, I saw them pull a vehicle history when I traded it in. Bad thing is I would have recommended them until I saw that. My buying experience was great from them, but you're right just flat lying to the customer there. I showed a buddy of mine, and he's going to test drive it tomorrow and see what the salesman hypes up about it.

Luckily mine was new. Saw it roll off the truck. Only thing they could've lied about was the price, but they beat 5 other dealerships within a 100 Miles.

Dude, that is some stupid bullchit! That right there would stop me from ever again in my life going to that dealership, even for simple service. There are some good ones out there and I'm not doggin them but from my experience most of em try and screw ya everytime.

That would be an awesome idea and I would do that in a heartbeat, be sure that if you convince him to do that. Make sure that he gets a pic of the vin # so the dealership don't try and say it's a totally different truck.
