Recently bought a used Winnebago as a cash deal , on Consignment. I specifically asked for it to be fully inspected for defects. I eventually after some asking, got a one page sheet with check marks on it. Not one word about any point. This was obviously a paper transaction only. Upon picking up the unit, I drove home to Yuma and it was like a sailboat. Steering was so loose. Put it in the repair shop in Yuma and got it repaired to the tune of $1900.00. Called the Dealer Principal who told me that there was nothing he could do as steering was nothing to do with them.. This was the same guy who told me, "If there's anything I can do for you, just give me a call". It was the same old story of, it was a consignment deal,. I'm losing money on this. Nothing to do with me. This was a cash deal for $23K. I accepted other discrepancies such as batteries etc, but the dealer was adamant that this issue was nothing to do with them. Then who is this to do with? Surely if you're the dealer who sells it, then you are responsible. If the engine seized as I drove it off the lot, would I be out of luck too?
Just read another review on this dealer regarding a roof leak. I asked about signs of a roof leak on the left rear corner of my unit, inside the wardrobe. I was advised that they had checked it and it was fine. I sure hope that this is true, not just another Dealership promise. read more
