Went to look at a 2019 F250 diesel, and the first thing we noticed was the sales lady offered no information on the truck and was not very helpful but after driving it and looking it over for obvious issue we noticed was the sales lady offered no information on the truck and was not very helpful but after driving it and looking it over for obvious issues (rust, brakes, air and heat) we decided to purchase, our fault, but we didn’t know the crucial questions to ask. At a later date we took the truck in for service at a shop near us and to our surprise we were informed by the tech that the truck had been deleted! We didn’t know what that meant for us and the tech informed that shops typically won’t work on trucks that have been deleted and if they do they require payment in advanced. We weren’t happy to discover this but after discussion and a change in careers we decided we needed a F350 dually or higher for the work we would be doing therefore we decided to look at trading anyways. We checked out 3 dealerships in our area to trade and we’re told by all 3 that they weren’t interested in the truck to buy as it was not only deleted but was also in 3 car accidents! They would be willing to do a trade but they did not have what we were now wanting and the trade in value on the F250 was $20,000 less than what we bought the truck for! We bought this truck in August and we started looking to trade in Oct/ November! I called the dealership we bought this truck from and informed the sales lady that she didn’t inform us of this information and she acted confused and that she was not aware the truck had been in 3 car accidents, but, I assured her it was as I had the print out that showed the dates and totals, and she didn’t say a word about the delete. I told her they needed to help us fix this and she wanted to look into it and call us back. She never did. Now it is December and I called her again, she said she didn’t have anything on the lot for us that we were wanting and would not buy the truck back from us. If we could do a trade she would give just a little more than the other dealerships; saying that since we bought the truck 4 months ago that the value dropped a lot. Ya! Because it’s been deleted and in 3 car accidents and they know it and if we did a trade I bet they would put it back on their lot for the same amount we originally bought it for and would probably keep the delete and accidents a secret. Makes me wonder what other information they keep/kept from buyers? Very unhappy with this lady and this dealership for the headache they caused us! More
