Dealer aint gonna reveal anything they gonna say all is good. Prob getting calls every day too....
Could be, but don't forget sometimes people can be just stupid. Neighbor once bought a new Corvette, 3 months later he trades in for a BMW. Known a few people to do things like that, losses be damned.
Last used vehicle I bought...dealer USED to be a friend. Said it was a dealer demo with 1200.miles, so it was a beauty. A REAL friend who is a mechanic, noticed the wheel liners looked scraped up. Within six weeks I blew a left front shock. Dealer fixed it. Three weeks later blew another. I've never replaced a shock in my years until this point. Blew a third one and took it to a guy I knew. He put a laser on the frame and noticed it was twisted. The hood was offset by a quarter inch. He stripped off fenders and noticed hairline stress marks. Said the dealer likely rolled it and had it put back together. The twist and stress was causing geometry issues. No shock was going to withstand the issues. But that truck was perfect and beautiful...so that friend told me....never again. I'm sure some folks eat their hat realizing the car isn't what they wanted...but those are far and few between I'll bank on it.
Sounds like a guy who's purchased a few used cars in his day?
Happens yes. But also common vehicle has defects problems damage and gets traded in. So buyer beware.
The $30 isn't a huge deal, it's more the unknown. I know my vehicle and owned it since new. With 8k miles on the BL its making the 11-hour trip to realize it's not what I expected. Also, the price is $30 more but with a shorter monthly term so, price-wise, its a win.
Said it was a 'temp' car until their fullsize Bronco arrived. Could that be a lie? Sure, but it is what it is.
Because with the options I want (360+, tow package, sunroof) I can see it taking many, many months to arrive and unsure how the trade-in values will work by then. Right now, I can make close to $4k trading in the OB. Who knows if the market tanks in 6+ months.
I can give that stuff up, no problem.
I really get your hesitation, that for me would be enough to stick with what I’ve got. I keep not knowing just what I’d do if I were you. I wish you all the best in the decision, as even sticking with what you have is in itself a decision.
