Has anyone had experience with AZ Truck Source? I found them yesterday while looking for truck financing. They say they can get almost anyone approved. We are starting off with no owner/op experience and have had a heck of a time trying to find financing, even though our credit is great. I am a little leery as it sounds almost too good to be true.

I have looked at them too. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

RUN!
I too found them online and thought that was possibly my only option. Filled out credit app and was approved. I then got a link to the trucks available for purchase from the bank and boy was I surprised. Every truck available to me was approx 20 to 25,000 dollars above market value for similar models. After sending in a listing and finding out that all but two trucks were either unavailable or already had deposits on them I sent an additional request for trucks available,specs and prices. I was told by the guy at the bank that they simply didn't have time to go through a shopping list like mine and that if I wanted a truck I needed to settle on one and get the deal done. Alarms went off in my head. I was also going to have to fly or get transportation to Georgia (on my dime mind you) to pick up truck and drive back to AZ although the rep I was working with was here locally.
In looking back on the entire deal it's a complete sham. They are taking advantage of the downturn in the economy and the fact that many of us have bruised credit and limited financing options available to us. that thing really left a bad taste in my mouth and I am so thankful I didn't follow through.
Ended up getting financing through Arrow and they have been absolutely wonderful to work with. They have gone above and beyond during the whole process and I would recommend to anyone needing a truck to give them a call.
All i can say is proceed with caution if you do decide to deal with AZ Truck Source.botanis Thanks this. -
Get the financing on your personal property and make the truck purchase a cash deal. Or at the very least, get your financing somewhere else besides the truck dealer and get out of that tote-your-note trap. As the previous poster mentioned, buy here/pay here is what it is no matter how it's packaged.
We refinanced two paid for cars at 2 point something interest at our credit union and used the cash to pay for equipment. Even the good dealers all take cash.botanis Thanks this. -
That was an excellent idea! Very clever. The dealers have been quoting me 25% interest.

No, I think I will steer clear of that one. Thanks!

Not sure if anyone saw my previous post that was removed (too promotional), but you may want to look into factoring as a financing solution. There are tons of providers out there...ask around to get advice on who is best to deal with and call to see if it could work for you. Just sayin'....

I did the aztrucksource deal and came out pretty good. I have a Pete 379. 2007 model year. Had 402K original miles on it. I work it pretty hard. No 25% interest. I did fly from Seattle to Atlanta to get this truck and had to by trip permits all the way home. I spent many an hour chasing pricing, financing, insurance and all. I faired pretty good. I didn't pay any more for mine than what I found throughout the country at many a dealership. Just keep in mind that you're buying a repo and look it over very very well.

Uh oh, first post and cheerleads for the company
. Red Flag IMO! But in all seriousness, I was looking at them as well. Either them or Lone Mountain but hey I guess I'll keep you all updated once I talk things over with them
