I’ve driven eco’s my last two Rams with great MPG’s. I was visiting my Son in Bullhead City,AZ Christmas of 21 and dropped in the local Ram dealership where my wife took a shine to a used 21 BMW X5, well I thought, what the hell. I’ve always bought Rams so we settled for car for a change. We drove it back to Waxahachie, TX. Now this X5 had every bell and whistle this side of the North Pole including ambeance lights across the dash with a choice of 43 colors. About the middle of May, 2022 my wife looked at me and said “I miss my Ram” and that was all it took. We raced down to our friendly Ram dealership and was about to finalize signing for a nice white Laramie Eco-diesel when our young salesman asked if we knew the BMW had been in an accident. You could have heard a pin drop. He handed us a CarFax copy and that was that. We left and have been fighting with the Ram dealership in AZ ever since.
My wife and I have contacted every agency, official, attorney and the AZ dealership to no avail yet. I tried to to trade it with Carvana, Car Max, Auto Nation and even a few car rentals. Sure we’ll trade if you buy a new vehicle and we’ll allow about $22,000, maybe a $25,000 trade-in.
To make a long story short, LOL I don’t think the car was even in an accident. I took it to 2 different Collision Center’s the entire front-in checked out as “factory paint”.
All is not lost. Pegasus Ram in Ennis, TX gave us $44,000 on a 23 Lone Star with a 5.7 Hemi so we didn’t loose out to bad.
Oh,You can bet your ass this is not over. The AZ dealership claims they use “Car Check, not CarFax.
So, what say you, who is responsible here? Jim
