Yeah, as Gman said, I bought my truck through Selectrucks in Kansas City. If you search Selectrucks on this website you'll probably come up with the saga.
I didn't pay their asking price, I was able to get it for a few thousand cheaper taking it 'as is'. It turned out to be a really good truck.
The issue I had with them is they got me into a 'rules of 78' contract which simple interest rate came out to 25%! At the time, I had no idea what rules of 78 is- basically, it means if you pay it off early you pay a big penalty. All the guys at Selectrucks knew I was trying to get the money off a credit card (20k limit, 10% interest at that time) and that I was only signing their contract until I could get to the bank or get a credit card check cashed. They deliberately didn't tell me about the penalty and even when I signed the contract, they didn't provide me with a copy (it's been said, I know, I know, I should have demanded one).
Point being, I got a really good truck from them even if they didn't so much as change the oil in it and the recaps had to be replaced because of the sidewalls long before the tread wore out. Brand new steers wore out after 32k miles because the alignment was so bad. The truck is still quite good but they weren't honest. So, whatcha going to do... :lol:
