    I recently got my truck from them. I have no problems. Just read everything before you approve anything.

    Get an oodia membership that will take your downpayment to half of that. Also when you take the truck for test drive you can take it to a 3rd party to have it inspected. I got a 579 Pete. I've had no problems. If you can it would be wise to bring along a mechanic that knows what his doing.

    I have a truck through them started out good. 1 year into the lease and has cost just about 15,000 in repairs not covered by there be warranty. Company that does there inspections is a joke. I sat in the parking lot in my car and watched them pull it the bay Park it mechanic get out got eat come back and place inspection on it and pull it out.once you pay the deposit it is non refundable and there is a buy out at the end of the lease....And the the maintenance account they make you take the charge you to use your own money .... Nothing but crooks

    If I'm understanding correctly, are you saying with an OODIA membership I can get a lower down payment, and they give you a good local 3rd party mechanic who will inspect the truck before purchasing?

    Seems to be a bad idea to lease. Leasing a truck is more expensive than getting a loan. At least with a loan the title is in your name and you can sell it for almost what you bought it for. Under a lease you cant sell it for any price less than the buyout which is high.
