Don't buy a used vehicle from these guys. They will sell you one that they know has problems, as long as the problem is intermittent enough that they think they can get it sold and through its 15-day Lemon Law return period before the problem shows up again. Here's how I know: I traded in my 2016 Ram truck to them for $1,500 because I was having problems with it and they swore it was nothing but scrap. They posted it for sale immediately for $18,995. Per the Carfax, they didn't do anything to it mechanically except change the oil. I think the truck is going to give its next owner nothing but problems. I wish I'd read the Yelp reviews before I went there.
Here's the background: I had a 2016 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel truck, VIN ending in 341029. It was my only vehicle, 9 years old with just over 73,000 miles on it, when I started having problems with it. Long story short: the check engine light came on 9/5/25, I had it repaired at Bill Luke (replaced fuel injectors and EGR cooler under warranty, took 10 days, had to rent a car, and they said parts for this engine will stop being made next year). The check engine light came on again on 9/30/25 and Luke just turned the light off and said to see if it comes back on. When you turn off the check engine light on this truck, it takes about 2 weeks of driving it before the computer monitors reset and the light comes back on. My tag was due 10/15/25, I couldn't pass my smog test due to the check engine light, so I couldn't get the truck tagged, and I didn't want to drive with an expired tag. I was getting increasingly desperate, but I still had hope that the truck could be fixed. The check engine light came on the 3rd time on 10/14/25. I decided to try a different dealership for repairs, so I made an appointment, and I also decided to look at Subarus at the dealership across the street.
I wish now that I'd never set foot in Peoria Subaru / Moore Chrysler Jeep. I test drove a car, then sat down with the salesman to see about pricing. He asked to look at my Ram truck as a trade-in, and I said OK, I was curious about what value it had. We talked about the check engine light, and I told him I had an appointment to get it fixed. After they looked at it, another salesman, Shawn, gave me the hard sell. He said the truck was scrap and they couldn't give me more than $1,000 for it. He said he'd checked with their Jeep mechanic and based on OBD codes, the recent work, etc., it probably has metal shavings in the engine and would need a new engine, and the truck isn't worth that. They would auction it for parts. I told him I was going to have it fixed, but he said the other dealerships were just stringing me along, replacing parts under warranty bit by bit until the warranty ran out. That sounded plausible to me. I thought about the money I'd spend on rental cars with the Ram in the shop. My mind was clouded by concern for my Mother's health (she had a heart attack in July and needed me to take her to many appts) and my need to have a reliable vehicle. I was in tears. The idea of buying a new car and ending all this running around, trying to get repairs done on the Ram, sounded very appealing. I was so tired.
So they wore me down and I made a very bad decision. On 10/14/25, I bought a 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Premium from them for $33K (I like the car, though the price wasn't good and I wish I'd bought it elsewhere). They "generously" gave me a whole $1,500 for my "scrap" truck. I truly believed they'd send the truck to auction, so I was shocked when I saw that they'd posted the Ram for sale on their website for $18,995. The photos show the check engine light is off, but if nothing has been fixed, I believe it will come back on after about 2 weeks of driving, just as it did for me repeatedly. In the research I've done on the Ram since, I believe their assessment of it as scrap is correct. This 2016 EcoDiesel engine has a bad reputation. They do get metal shavings in the engine when the fuel pump disintegrates. The recent work I had done doesn't show up on the Carfax, so the buyer won't have a heads-up that the truck has had problems recently. I emailed Peoria Subaru with details of my attempts to repair it, so it would be in writing and they couldn't say they didn't know. I gave them multiple chances to explain to me how this is not the scam it appears to be, and they refuse. Chris Donevski wants to talk to me only by phone or in person (I think they're afraid to put anything in writing) and I don't believe a word they say, so I will only communicate by email. They have zero empathy or ethics. One of the papers that you sign when you buy a car from them says: "I understand that verbal promises by the salesman are not valid. Any promises or understandings not specified in writing shall not be binding upon MOORE AUTO GROUP." These guys give Subaru a bad name. They should be selling Yugos. read more
