    RCI Trucks out of Atlanta,Ga is a total RIP-OFF...They buy wrecked trucks and band-aid them back together,Also check out Ripp-off report.
    Yes Drivers I was stupid,once again.....This was back 05/13..truck I had gotten from them,ended up costing me like $3000.00 in various repairs
    My last repair was $1800.00,I had to borrow money from my sister to pay for repairs,with that said..Please don`t make the same mistake I made.    :biggrin_25523:

    3G in repairs. heck, i had 6G in one repair just 4 months ago. i'm up to 7.5G in 9 months. on an 009 t660

    consider yourself LUCKY.

    i bet there isn't a truck in the world that hasn't had some type of repair done last year.

    RCI sells cheap older trucks and they will need work, probably sooner than later. They do get a good one now and then. You just have to climb thru a dozen junkers to get to it. I bought our first truck there in 2011. It was a fair deal for what it was and it needed some work. So does every other 2004 Century on any truck dealer's lot.

    $3000 in repairs is nothing. Welcome to truck ownership. I spent $1700 last week, with a seized tensioner and resulting snapped belt, then a freeze up.

    New trucks break down,thats why they give you a warranty on such a large investment!!! Why would you even think a used truck wouldnt break down or have worn out parts that needed replacement? Everything wears out eventiually!! Get used to it!!! Welcome to trucking!!!

    Unless he is lying about how long he has been a trucker I personally wouldn't consider him a new guy.....I mean in 27 years he had to pick up a thing or two.
