Not much good to say about my purchase of a $36,000 used - Richard Robins
Not much good to say about my purchase of a $36,000 used 2024 Ram 1500 Classic on Saturday December 13th. I showed up later on that Saturday interested in buying a new truck. The salesman, Ian was super aggressive, running across Route 11 to get me a minute after pulling in the lot. He works out a truck for me to test drive, during the test drive noticed the steering wheel was far off-center. I mention it and he tells me he'll have it aligned at no cost at their location. He's in a huge rush to get me gone because of some after work party. We get all the papers signed, and he rushes me to move my stuff from my car to my truck. He immediately takes my car away and I never saw him again. I noticed before even pulling out of the parking lot that the rim had a huge gouge/ dent right on the lip of the wheel, like it was curbed very hard. I called him immediately and of course he was already gone. He answers my phone call and suggests I should use my wheel package and have it repaired. Few days go by and I'm back for my alignment. While there I go across the street to find him or anybody that can help me. Two nice women helped me because Ian wasnt there. These women told me the finance manager offered to repair it for me and I thought all was good, but I was told I still need to talk Ian and that if he doesnt call me by noon the following day that I need to call him. So I call Ian and he tells me whatever I want to hear to get me off the phone. Told him I'd like to have it fixed between December 26th and January 1st. It is now the 26th and I have not heard anything and he has not responded to my text. I got my truck back and still the steering wheel was still crooked and off center (they actually implied it was road crown, just for some odd reason every road im on my steering wheel is crooked) Ian did mention during the test drive that some of the mechanics are incompetent and we laughed about it. I have since gave the truck a good look over, which is my fault for not going more indepth before sale. My brakes have felt spongy and need to be pumped to get harder and work properly. This caused me to check the brake fluid which was pretty dark. Today the 26th I paid to have an outside shop do an alignment and flush/bleed my brakes and surprise everything is better than it was. Kinda of disappointing that according to the Carfax they had this truck since October, have their own service department, and clearly never serviced it. Maybe they slapped a November inspection sticker on it and cleaned the interior. I would like my wheel fixed as I paid to fix these other things on my own, which should have been done before sale. I just kinda expect when I go to a larger dealership that sells new cars that everything would be serviced and ready to go on their used cars. I was wrong and it's on me. I don't know about the rest, but this is your stereotypical car salesman. Even though he gave me his business card and told me his cell is on there and that I can call anytime, he never wants to respond. I was told this would be covered and I shouldn't have to go to such great lengths to make contact to get this fixed. As hes selling me my truck hes trying to get a sale out of my girlfriend too, insisting on showing her brand new Kias after finding out she had just paid off her previous loan. The way this was handled won't get you more business, even though she was super interested in that Kia. He actually referred to them as a "real dealership" when telling him I was at smaller lots. This "real dealership" also put 2 new tires on the front that dont match the backs. The biggest vehicle purchase I ever made and mistakenly it happened to be at this dealer. Never trust a car salesman. I should have looked that thing over up and down. All this instead of either repairing or replacing with 150- 200$ used rim. Now you get a bad review and also lose out on the sale of a new Kia. I would not recommend buying a used car here
