      I purchased a $13.995 truck and a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty and taxes and fees was $20,000.00 had truck 7 months total. Coughlins in London Ohio where I purchased it had it 2-3 months of the 7 months. Evap system, transmission, wiring harness, and engine all had to be replaced. Come to find out I didn’t purchase a 3 year 36,000 warranty. It was a total of $5000 warranty within 3 years or 36,000 mile. Dealership wouldn’t do anything to make it halfway right. Said it was all on me

      DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP!!! **** the sales manager is the absolute worst. My dad has been looking for a truck for 2 years and finally found the right one. He put $1000 deposit down to hold the truck in his name because we were unable to pick it up the same day. He was so excited and told the entire family and even ordered a bed cover for it. Well…. later that day **** called my dad back and said sorry but we sold the truck. He tried to say he didn’t realize the truck was already sold when he took the deposit. That’s complete BS because **** even had to get permission from his boss to except my dads offer. That truck was very much available they just sold it to another guy later that day that offered more! DO NOT BUY FROM THESE CLOWNS!!!!!!!
