So I took the truck in for inspection. I needed to get it done within 10 days of registering the vehicle in PA. I assumed that it would go well because Kevin assured me his mechanics looked of the truck and everything checked out ok.
Much to my surprise, I get a phone call from my mechanic telling me it needs $1000 in work and thats just to pass inspection. On top of that, it needs belts and a third brake light. Son of a B!
Called Arctic Motors and calmly asked them to verify that they did inspect the truck before they sold it to me and that it was in fact free of any major problems(the truck is ten years old, I was expecting it to probably need some minor maintenance stuff like fluids, air filter, wipers etc)which they responded and "Yeah everything looked good"
After I told them about the extensive list of issues, they immediately dismissed it. "Well its not making noise so it doesn't need to be fixed". Oh, they're those types of mechanics. They did offer to replace the parts for about half the price but, seeing as I am 90 miles away from them, not to mention that I no longer trust them, I just ended the call with "I'll get back to you"
Stupid me put my trust in the fact that they had over 500 positive feedback on ebay. I just thought that since they are a licensed dealership they'd make sure to sell quality cars and fix ones that need work before selling them to ensure customer satisfaction.
So long story short, I got ripped off. The truck is still very nice and I am happy with it, but if they listed it as in perfect running and working condition, it should have been that way. I'd recommend shopping for your next vehicle else where or bringing your own mechanic to look over the car before you buy it. read more
