My neighbor just got through returning an '05 1 ton Dodge Club Cab bought as New after I asked (casually) if he had used CarFax...I saw him in an F350 the next day!...He offered to buy me a bottle of Scotch. I don't drink, seeing him out of the truck and the look on the dealer's face was well worth it. The info was right there. It came from a yard outside New Orleans! He had already replaced (under warranty) the entire fuel system (tank to injectors) and it still had so many electrical gremlins it was a wonder somebody else hadn't checked. The dealer is fairly reputable but I think several factors came into play:
1) Got truck at significant discount and was able to sell it at reduced price making for volume and quick turnover
2) (most important)They were making a fortune in shop time from Dodge for warranty work!! It was like buying a cash cow!
