I mean he did buy a truck with 200,000 miles at 900 a month kind of his fault if you ask me
I was saying the exact same thing especially since it's a Ford. Lol. Ford is the second least reliable auto manufacturer in the USA. It's actually fact look it up. Chrysler is the worst for reliability, Ford is second and GM is third. As much as I want to buy American, when it comes to as much money as vehicles cost, I need something reliable. Last American vehicle I bought was a 2019 GMC Acadia and I had nothing but problems with it. I take very good care of my vehicles full maintenance never missing anything and I don't drive it like a race car, but still the transmission went out at 90,000 mi. Bought it brand new in 2019 and transmission went out January of last year 2023. And that was when I traded it in (after getting my transmission fixed with my extended warranty that I purchased) I see all these guys making videos talking about their new Chevy or Ford with only $27,000 mi bragging that they haven't had any problems with it yet and I'm like dude, you shouldn't have any problems with that little miles. Lol that's not a brag
22000 for a vehicle with almost 200000 miles is ridiculous
Yeah that guy should have ran from that deal!
Plus it's 11 years old
20k for a 200k mile truck? it would seem both buyer & seller are not completely right upstairs.bats in the bellfry?
what the hell is wrong with people?
Dude doesn’t need a lawyer he needs a financial advisor
$22.5k for a 193,000+ mile truck? I paid $14k for a 2013 F-150 with 30k miles. This guy got clubbed. 900/mo he must have financed the entire thing plus tax at 20%. Some folks are their own worst enemies.
Dumbie bought a truck with 200,000 miles
I remember in the ‘90s Ted Russel sold Escorts for $6,999.99 to us guys getting out of Brushy. Your $150.00 gate check was your down payment.
What kind of escort? The car or the girl?
Your paying $876. For a 2013 . U got robbed. I got a fully loaded with tow package 5.0 2023 f150 36,000 miles for $796. 5 years.
Lmao I bought a 17 dodge charger from them at 19 for 600 a month with no credit and 80K miles? Like ngl that’s your fault for buying it pal😂
I was told by lifelong Tennessee residence that if they did a lemon law, like a lot of states for used vehicles. That a lot of these little use car dealerships here in East Tennessee and all over the state would probably have to close. It is shocking about the horror stories that I’ve heard from coworkers about buying used cars here in East Tennessee. I lived in Pennsylvania and North Carolina and I never heard so many horror stories about buying used cars.
I don’t think any state lemon law would cover a truck with 200k miles. In NY for example no warranty is required for anything over 10 years old or 100,000 miles. He might be able to sue the dealer for lack of fitness of merchantability which means if you buy a car it has to perform as a car, not a lawn ornament.
I mean lemon lawing a truck with 200,000 miles is insane to even suggest. The truck could die tomorrow with those miles
@@user-xk4vt9ye8j New Jersey had lemon laws for used cars. The cars even have to pass inspection.
I'm surprised the warranty protection plan actually paid $18K.
Ben Franklin needs to stick to flying kites!
No substitute for having a real mechanic look at it . Extended warranties are a joke, buyer beware,
It's always the little fine print we all never read and it's always somehow the issue😂 u gotta laugh when stuff like this happens or else you'll go crazy from pulling your hair out. Ask me how I know 🤷🤔
Well in all fairness they did pay the value of the vehicle, which his dumbass overpaid for, So I'd say they actually did him solid. Also you're not totally wrong about extended warranty coverages. All those ones you see on TV are garbage I promise you they are like that car shield one don't ever get that garbage they are scammers. I had a Zurich extended warranty when I bought my 2019 GMC Acadia. Zurich was good they took care of me. Even the dealership that I went to for repairs told me that I was lucky I had Zurich because they were the best in the business. I paid $3,500 for the warranty and they paid about $11,000 in repairs over the 4 years that I owned the vehicle from new. Even a brand new vehicle would have broke me if I didn't get that warranty. That's why I don't buy American vehicles anymore That was the last one and this is coming from a lifelong GM fan. You want to know what the worst three cars you can buy are? And this is not opinion this is actually fact based on numbers. The worst is Chrysler, the second is Ford and the third is GM. These are the three least reliable automakers available in the US.
I got lucky bought my truck lifetime powertrain warranty...the transmission went out they put a new one in then the camshaft lifters went out dealer replaced that oil pump mine 2018 chevy trk no charge at all btw 122,000 miles
