thanks jenna. y’all sold me a car with a broken truck bed cover, and no one even offered to help me try to fix it. additionally, it was still dirty from someone at the dealership using it as a personal car and they didn’t even clean it after. finally, i got my dirty broken car after being shown another one with roof covers, only to be told a day later (when i realized that mine didn’t have them too) that “covers weren’t included with mine. overall, id say there is plenty of improvement to be had.
