West coast auto group

I am purchasing a used truck in a couple of days from these guys in Duncanville Texas, (near Dallas). Has anyone had any good or bad experience with them? I have read alot of used dealers post real nice pictures and then you get then and it is not as nice as it looked.

I already have a flight schedule from Mich. so any info would be appreciated.

Anyone that lives near them that could stop in and take a look for me, please contact me. -- email address removed -- 616. 901. 8901

Thanks

An "auto group" normally owns a number of dealerships, each with their own name.

What is the name of the dealer where you plan to buy a truck?

I certainly wouldn't trust any good deals by whatever pictures they sent you or much less told you. I don't believe it's worth the long trip from Michigan to Dallas, TX. You may be very disappointed and have to fly back home. I'm sure you can find a deal in your own home state. Do a search on craigslist classifieds: jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, community, events, forums.



Put the word out here on TDR. What are you looking for?

Don't think I'd want a used truck from Michigan - - My '06 spent 2 years in Ohio, and the winter wasn't kind to the Dodge - - and I took care of it!



Texas trucks are usually in pretty good shape, high mileage is the norm - - but I've seen a lot of good looking trucks on the used lots during the last two weeks - - - I'd run to Duncanville for you, but I've commited to teach a class next week and we are leaving for Jackson, MS in the early AM

Be very careful of trucks involved in the Katrina flooding. Dealers are pretty good at hiding evidence of rust caused by flooding. Pull a few screws and light bulbs to look for rust where it shouldn't be.



Good luck.
