I traded in a Very nice Lifted F50 Showtruck for a F350 4x4 Dually. The very next day The truck broke down and left me stranded on the HWY and had a strong fuel smell in the cab. I had the truck towed to the local dealer where they fixed it. Needed new thermostats and two egt sensors ($1250 later). The thermostats had been drilled causing constant flow in return keeping the temp to high. I sent him a copy of the bill and service ticket to show what had been done. Then 5 days later the truck broke down with more problems... Once at the shop it needed a new EGR valve, the DPF filter was plugged and water in the intercooler ($3000 later) dealer said that is where the fuel smell was comming from. I sent him a text and let him know what had been done and how much. Then within two weeks the truck again was leaking oil everywhere from the oil cooler. Once again at the dealer they said they will have to remove the cab. Well they found that the truck had been wrecked (Damage on the cab and a ton of overspary). They found that the downpipe from the back turbo was loose, it needed an oil cooler, steering gear box (leaking), front seal... ($4500 later) I am waiting to get the truck back.
I have asked for him to at least cover $3500 (just a small portion of the repair bill) to take it back multiple time and either trade for a different one or give me my truck back. Well he said the trucks already gone and I am SOL.
Just want everyone to beware this guy sell JUNK vehicles...
