My wife and I bought two vehicles from this guys and the experience has been a sort of emotions…read morelol, but the truth is that if you're buying a used car from any independent and/or small car dealer the chances of getting a lemon are high.
In my case, our credit is not good and this guys were quick to approve us thru Credit Acceptance, I did went to other big car dealers before (Toyota, Honda, Ford etc) but no bank will approve us, so after reading a lot of reviews from different web sites, I come to the conclusion that if you're buying from Silk City or other dealer you should be knowledgeable enough or mechanically inclined to do a proper inspection of the vehicle you're interested, or bring someone else or a mechanic that you can trust to do the inspection for you.
It is very obvious that the guys from Silk City DO NOT perform any kind of inspection or repairs previous to sell a vehicle, they will disguise a problem or maybe perform a quick cheap repair just for a quick sell, my wife and I tried various vehicles, we even went under the carriage to see if there was rust or something else, we look and hear at the engine for possible weird sounds, we check the fluids etc. (We're not mechanics but we have owned several vehicles and sadly we have learned from our own mistakes) we did caught several problems in the vehicles we tried, we told Eric (sales manager) and he assure us that he was gonna take care of those problems, even when we were interested and seeing other vehicles, the truth is that they take advantage of people that doesn't know much, but again I believe in this case is a buyer responsibility to do a proper inspection of a used vehicle, short long history, I bought a Ford Ranger for me and my wife choose a Ford Explorer, both vehicles in very nice conditions, interior and exterior, engines and transmissions in excellent conditions, I can't complain about my truck at all, the truck is in excellent condition in and out but not because of the Silk City guys but because the previous owner, but my wife vehicle, even when we tried to do a good inspection it wasn't enough, we took the vehicle to our mechanic because we notice some vibration in the front wheels, and we find out that the control arms were damaged, he also found out that the drive shaft or propeller shaft was broken and bended, rear shocks rusted, he told me that the vehicle was unsafe to be driven like that, thanks God engine and transmission are very good, the total cost of the repair it comes out of our pocket $1800 and there is no way we're gonna get a reimbursement from them. Like I said at the beginning, it has been a mix of emotions since I'm very happy with my truck, no problems at all and it is the truck that I was looking for quite some time, it could had been worse compared to others cases I read.
