    Hey guys
    Did anyone heard anything about this dealer or had a personal experience with them? I found another truck that I wanted to buy from them but just looked them up trough www.ripoffreport.com and found only few but pretty bad reviews that they sell junk trucks that brake down few miles after you get it out off the lot and then they just simply ignore you....

    I think out of any used truck or maybe even new truck dealers you would find good reviews as well as bad.
    I read ( think on this forum) a guy that had bouth a couple trucks from him and was happy but a used truck is always a risk.

    a new truck is a bigger risk. I have no idea if it's valid or not, but I read that every engine manufacturer has over a forty percent catastrophic failure rate. Before egr it was around 12 percent. If that has any truth to it at all, I know which truck I'm buying if I was in the market.

    I purchased from them and so has my cousin, we have no complaints. You have to know what to look for when your looking at trucks. Everything on the lot is not road ready. disregard how clean the truck is on the in and outside and look at the guts of the truck. this is where you will make your money!

    The first thing any used dealer does is pressure wash for two days then get out the black paint and rattle can clear coat. The really good ones can make one look like its never been cleaned up. Its not so much they are trying to hide anything but clean sells. Baskins is fair in my opinion or has been with me the couple of times we have dealt.

    Hey George,
    You might want to reconsider your purchase through them. I bought a water truck that they claimed to have put a new tank, leaking water, running hot and wheel pushed back. wont even pass inspection at texas dot. I tried working a deal out with them to return it of course Skip Baskin told me to go F..k myself. 35k plus expenses almost 48k as we speak he refused to work it out. he still has the truck and my money. you might want to reconsider your purchase they are the most shady company I have ever dealt with.

    You know thats what I keep finding, reviews and experience like yours. I havent found any good feedback besides couple of people here. I called them and talked about few trucks and ofcourse they are saying that trucks all good and ready to go no repairs to be done..... what a bs...
    Im going to go either with Arrow Truck Sales or American Truck Showroom. Thanks for advice though I hate scambags like those guys
