Eide Ford Lincoln

I went to Eide because of 2 reasons. First, they had a Jeep I was interested in. Second, I have been told by many people that they were a good, for the regular people, kind of dealership. Well, after ta Jeep I was interested in. Second, I have been told by many people that they were a good, for the regular people, kind of dealership. Well, after taking this Jeep for a ride and coming to an agreed price, thats when things stated to go awry. There were 2 items I wanted addressed before I paid for my Jeep. 1 was a heater issue and the other a gauge problem. I was told be my salesman that these would be taken care of. 4 days later after 7 calls to my salesman, he told mme my Jeep was ready to pick up. Now, for the purpose of this review, my Jeep was a 1997 wrangler. Its in great shape, and after being a Jeep owner for many years, I know they are tough and dependable. Well, 4 days after I purchased this Jeep, I went to MN for Christmas. When I arrived in MN, 450 miles from Bismarck, I had NO heat in the Jeep. I called My salesman in Bismarck, but got no return call. AS IT TURNED OUT, MY JEEP NEEDED A WATER PUMP, HEATER BLOWER RESISTER, THERMOSTAT, ALTERNATOR, AND A SERPINTENE BELT! I CAME TO FIND OUT, THERE WAS SO MUCH STOP LEAK IN THE COOLING SYSTEM, THE HEATER CORE WAS PLUGGED UP AND COULD NOT COOL THE ENGINE PROPERLY OR GENERATE ANY HEAT. AS A RESULT, THE HEATER BLOWER RESISTER AND THE ALTERNATOR WENT TO xxxx! THE SERP BELT WAS SO BAD IT BROKE IN HALF WHEN THEY TOOK IT OFF. SO, BECAUSE OF ALL THESE PROBLEMS, I WAS SUSPECT ABOUT THE INTENSE SAFETY INSPECTION THEY CLAIM THEY GIVE ALL THERE USED CARS. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT REPAIRED THE JEEP THAT IF ANYONE CHECKED THIS BELT, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE IT WAS SHOT!! ALSO, IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE CHECKED THE COOLANT, THEY WOULD HAVE SEEN IT WAS BLACK IN COLOR AND CHANGED IT. AFTER I HAD THESE REPAIRS DONE, I HAD THE OIL CHANGED BECAUSE I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT IT WAS DONE EVEN IF MY SALESMAN TOLD ME THE JEEP WAS SERVICED. I TOOK THE OIL TO A LAB THAT TESTS OIL FOR VISCOSITY. THEY FOUND THAT THE OIL IN THE JEEP, THAT ACCORDING TO EIDE HAD BEEN CHANGED, WAS COMPARABLE TO OIL THAT HAD 5000 MILES ON IT. BOTTOM LINE: THE OIL WAS NOT CHANGED, AND I BELIEVE THAT THE JEEP WAS NOT INSPECTED AS EIDE CLAIMED. FURTHER MORE, IN THE BUYING PROCESS, MY SALESMAN TOLD ME THAT EVEN THOU THE JEEP WAS AS IS, IF SOMETHING MAJOR HAPPENED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AFTER I PURCHASED THE JEEP, " WERE NOT GOING TO LEAVE YOU HANGING" WE WILL WORK WITH YOU! YESTURDAY, I WENT TO EIDE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEMS I HAD, THEY TOLD ME "TOO BAD" WE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING WHAT WOULD GO WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK. WELL, I BELIEVEE THAT IF THEY WOULD HAVE CHECKED OUT THIS JEEP, THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEMS AND SOME OF THESE $800.00 IN REPAIRS AND COSTS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED! SO, USED CAR BUYERS BEWARE!!! I HOPE, FOR ALL THE USED CAR BUYERS OUT THERE THAT MINE WAS AN ISOLATED INNCIDENT, BUT IT REALLY MAKES YOU WONDER, HOW ARE THEY INSPECTING THESE USED CARS. TO FINISH, I'M NOT DONE YET. I HAVE PROOF OF THE NO OIL CHANGE, PROOF OF THE BELT AND STATEMENTS FROM MECHANICS STATING THAT ALL OF THE REPAIRS, EXCEPT THE WATER PUMP, COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED HAD THIS JEEP BEEN INSPECTED. VERY BOTTOM LINE; SHAME ON EIDE FOR NOT INSPECTING THIS JEEP, BUT SHAME SHAME SHAME ON ME FOR TAAKING THE WORD OF A NO SO TRUTHFULL SALESMAN AND NOT CHECKING OUT MY OWN JEEP BEFORE I WENT ON MY TRIP. I KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER BUY OR USE EIDE FORD FOR ANYTHING BUT A BAD REFERENCE IN THE FUTURE!! MARCOTHEAMERICAN More
