I spoke with Sam Griswold on several occasions regarding a used Ford F-150 that was offered at their dealership. I explained that I was approximately 3 hours away and was trying to cover every issue prior to making the drive. I was assured that the truck was in mint condition and that there were no issues with it. According to the Carfax report, this was true. Sam and I came to an agreement on price and a day to purchase the truck. Upon my arrival, the truck was in the shop having a power window replaced. I left, went to lunch and returned an hour later. When I returned the repair was complete and I began to look at the truck. This vehicle had OBVIOUSLY suffered a driver's side collision. The rear bumper was pushed into the rear quarter panel. The left rear wheel had been replaced. The driver's door was no welded together at the bottom and whenever it was opened or shut, broken glass would fall out and land on your feet. The truck had many other scratches throughout and the back seat floor looked like a crime scene. I discussed a missing passenger step with Sam s manager (don t know the name) who assured me that the step was stolen and that the truck had not been wrecked. When I pointed out the evidence of an accident with this truck, Sam said that would explain why the step was missing. His lies and the managers lies weren t even coordinated. The condition of this vehicle was obviously misrepresented, causing me to drive 3 hours each way to look at a wrecked truck. At least Sam was kind enough to refer me to another one of THEIR dealerships to look at a different vehicle.
