    Avoid this place unless you want to buy a cheap nightmare of a truck !!

    I've been there and the equipment is garbage not to mention the sales department. One of their recently sald units was just at a local truck repair facility and the proud new owner was staring down like $30-40K in repairs right off the bat.

    Seriously, I would avoid this place like the plague !!

    They have 2010 Peterbuilts and 2012 Prostars. Claim there from USX fleet returns.

    Thanks for the info. Would hate to fly out and get a truck and then breakdown and be bankrupt a day later. They claim they have a 100,000 mile warranty with the financing but it probably covers nothing.

    I appreciate it. Their one of the only dealers that would help me out with my credit. I dont want to do lease purchase and they claim to be able to get me a bank loan. I will continue to rebuild my credit and try again down the road.

    Even new trucks are a gamble these days... you may get a good truck or a bad truck. Even after having it checked out.....always ask for maintenance records

    This is what you face from ANY used truck, why would you think it's any different from dealer to dealer. Once you sign for the used truck, it's yours. There's only like two major aftermarket warranty companies. Whether you buy a former USX truck from some Peterbilt dealer or truck mart or joe bob's truck sales and adult book store, it will always be a crap shoot and the extended warranty will probaly be from NTP or Premium 2000. The used truck dealer you choose didn't build or operate the truck, they bought it to resell. In the case of fleet trucks, they buy them buy groups of 10,25,50,100, etc. As the buyer, it is your responsibility to thoroughly check whatever truck your buying. I recommend oil analysis, dyno, thorough DOT inspection from a trusted shop or another dealer not affiliated with the place you are purchasing it from. You can do all that and you can throw a rod next week. It's a gamble no matter what way look at it or where you buy it from.
