Can anyone refer a good truck sales lot ?

It's hit or miss with any used truck dealer. I've heard good and bad about Baskins out of Tennessee. Problem with buying used is that you only get to test drive the truck bobtail which doesn't really tell you a whole lot. Just have to go off specs and opinions I suppose. Good luck and I hope you get a good one.
P.S. stay away from the Mercedes engines. They're going real cheap and for good reason!

 

Can't get any guarantees that won't happen, even with a new truck ... the best you can hope for is to find a dealer that will back their truck for repairs, regardless of where you happen to be when it breaks down ... and good luck with that, most of them will want you to bring it back to their shop or take it a short list of desiginated shops.

 

On a used truck, if you figure an average of $1200 per month for maintenance and repairs, you will come out about right at the end of the year. Used trucks will usually have quite a few problems that you will encounter after you buy them, it has nothing to do with the dealer, it has to do with the previous owner and how much they let go before trade in or lease return.

 

The large companies buy new. That is because they know something.

 

If ur looking to buy a truck I can't really recommend any sales lots but I can tell u to stay away from Arrow Truck sales u will have another but headaches from them if u get a truck with a DEF regeneration system.

I can tell u if u want a good truck I would go for a truck that is older then a 2010 that had either a DPF regen system or no regen system like a truck that is older. Yes it may cost u more up front if something goes wrong with the truck but it won't cost u nearly as much in the long run because it will last u longer.

People say buy new it's better to me not really because if they truck is going to break down it doesn't matter if it's new or used. It's not if the truck breaks down its when, and alot of these companies tell u the trucks good and yes it may look good but that's about it. So if ur going to buy a used truck make sure u check it over before u sign and if they have the I section sheets and the repair bills for the truck on what it has had done that's plus because it will help u out alot in the long run.
