My husband and I bought a used truck from this dealership on 4/17 for $6,642. The truck is a 2008 Ford150. We test drove the car around the block, as we could not go much further since there was barely any gas in the vehicle. The truck did not have any check engine lights on at the time. When speaking with the owner, he had stated that the truck was not in any accidents, and that the truck was fully inspected by his mechanic, and showed us that there were no issues with the truck at all. Unfortunately, we believed him. My husband drove the car home, and within about an hour, the check engine light came on, and the truck completely turned off while driving. We were able to get the truck into a mechanic to have it looked over the following week. It was then that we learned that the fuel tank is completely broken and would need to be repaired. The mechanic shop let us know that particular part is no longer manufactured for that truck, and would not be able to be fixed, and therefore we cannot use the truck, and were scammed out of our money. We contacted Gene, and he stated to us, that, the mechanic was wrong, and we did not use his mechanic, so therefore, any mechanic place we went to, would just break parts. This is not the case, seeing as we used a reliable business, and cannot break something that has already been broken. This is complete fraud by the owner. Providing false documents stating the car has no mechanical issues. We wanted to return this vehicle, and were told we could not. It is understanding that vehicles can be sold as is, however, to fraudulently state and show documentation that there are no mechanical issues is unethical to say the least, and completely scamming a customer out of their money. We would like for our money to be returned, seeing as this vehicle is not drivable, is not able to be fixed. I cannot say enough how devastating this is, and cannot believe a company as fraudulent as them, is in business.
