My nightmare story
Well this is my story. I ordered my 3500 about 2 months ago. Monday it showed up and it was and is a beautiful truck. i was ready to take delivery. I showed up on monday afternoon. While I was checking out the truck the salesman brought my trade in truck for an appraisal. I was drooling over what should have been in a few hours my new ride. When I got back the salesman said that my 2000 Ram 3500 auto was worth 10000. I said "that's funny" The truck has a scratched fender but nothing can devalue it so much. He said that once aboue 13000 miles ago I brought the truck in for service and it was low on oil. I said yes, I put 2 quarter of Rotella in it 3 days before I brought it for service and it drank those two quarters and that's why i brought it in. They said that it has a noise which I have been hearing for about a year and they think it is a connecting rod broker or something in it is not working. I told him that the truck drives and drove fine since i owned it, I pulled my 7000 lbs trailer at 85 mph with ease and never once overheated or even moved the idle. He and everyone else was intended in screwing me because we had agreed on 37K price Sticker 43.500 and 3.9 financing . Long story short I felt awfull, my truck is fine and it drives like a dream. They knew I needed the truck by october because my truck could not handle the new 14000 lbs trailer I am getting. I was very disappointed and betrayed. Tuesday i bought a F350 fully loaded and tonight I will pick it up.
This is my horror story and I hope it never happens to anybody. I feel like I betrayed you guys but do not be alarmed even though i bought the V8 I still believe Dodge makes excellent trucks, but I could NOT buy the truck for a principle of not getting screwed.

Hope you guys are behind me
