I made several phone calls to North County Truck Stop regarding a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 2500HD Diesel truck that I was interested in purchasing. I was assured by NCTS that the truck was in great condition.
After receiving the truck I discovered that the newly installed plastic bed liner was hiding the pickup bed that was not only scratched beyond belief (looked like someone had hauled rolls of barbed wire in the bed of the truck), the truck bed was cracked in several places needing major body work repair. The rear fender quarter panel had a sizeable dent in it and numerous small dents that were hidden in the photos. (The photos booth and lights hide a lot of flaws). I called NCTS and they played dumb, said they were unaware of any flaws, but yet the transportation company pointed it out to NCST before shipping the truck to me in California.
The dome light didn't work and the seat memory didn't work. The extended camping mirrors (driver side) was almost falling off (it had one of four bolts holding the mirror on). NCST did pay $250 to repair the dome light, seat memory and mirror.
The tires were trash, no tread, and three different tires were on the truck, (two firestones, one goodyear, and one cooper tire). I threw them away.
So, when it comes to purchasing a vehicle from NCST... Buyer beware.
