[QUOTE="tyromeo55, post: 3464226, member: 1719"] There are good and bad vehicles no matter what path you go. For my company I typically get a new truck every other year and cycle it down the ladder till it’s scrap metal a couple decades later. Last new 2019 ford eats tons of oil the new 2016 b4 that went thru VVT’s and oil sending units Late 2016 a red light runner decided my 08 f150 (I Loved) had lived long enough even though it was only 290k young. Insurance company put me in a ram with a HEMI and took months to get their end sorted out since the person who hit me went MIA. Spending the money on a new one did not make sense at the time so I looked at other used fords. At the time what Ford I was looking for was $30k plus (v8 4x4 extended cab with 85k or less miles). After driving for so long I asked enterprise if I could just buy the one I was in. Nope- but they did find me one with 41k on the clock. More options then I was looking for and $24k. Truck has just under 100k on it now and the only problem it had was the exhaust manifold bolts that plague that engine and were replaced under warranty. it is being passed down and I just bought another 2020 Ram from Melton that was an ex enterprise rental. 6k miles on the clock, certified with 100k power train warranty and a ton of bumper to bumper left. About $10k less then new. So far I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another Sales experience from Melton was great. Don’t use their service department it is worthless [/QUOTE]
