Nation Truck sold me a truck that was defective in many ways, including hiding the fact it was in a previous accident. On approx, May 2013 I purchased a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel from Nations truck paying approximately $31,000 cash after tax and title. My Nations Truck Nightmare began.
Through out the sale the sales representative continually commented on their 100 point inspections and their 6 month 6000 mile half labor half parts warranty. What Nations Truck lied about is they never indicated if a customer negotiates a price with them then it voids the warranty. No warranty at any other dealer is ever voided when one negotiates price. Nations Truck deceptively has the customer sign an AS IS form and never indicates the warranty is voided as a result of it.
Within two weeks of buying the truck the muffler pipe completely broke in half at its midpoint weld. Being 500 miles from the dealer I had to get it fixed elsewhere ($166).
I had the truck inspected and the service mechanic indicated that both air bags would never deploy since they were disconnected. The 7-way trailer connection was cut in half. The repair shop proceeded to show me where the truck had been in an accident. Nations Truck repeatedly bragged during the sale how other dealers sell trucks in previous accidents; that they did not. They even showed a clear carfax which proves they had not inspected the truck themselves. A dent underneath the radiator proved it had been in an accident and airbags had deployed .
At two months and 4000 miles use, the trucks transmission burnt up. Based on oblong holes discovered in the fly wheel it was proof that whomever Nations Truck had do the transmission work, they did not torque or lock tite the torque converter bolts. The bolts losened, fractured, damaged the fly wheel and the process destroyed the transmission, torque converter, and flywheel. This cost me $5700 and 5 days at the AL/TN state border. By the time I crossed Kansas the truck had over heated and required radiator hose repair.
By the time I had got to my vacation destination I also had to replace the water pump and do fuel injection repairs ($440) followed by replacement of all the truck's upper and lower ball joints both sides of the truck ($900).
Clearly Nations Truck is doing deceptive business: from point of purchasing bad trucks, misrepresenting the trucks condition, misrepresenting their inspections, misrepresenting their warranty since it voids when the vehicle price is negotiated, and not informing the customer of the same. I have called Nations truck at least 5-6 times, I have shown up in person, and not once has NT returned my calls.
Caveat emptor "Let the buyer beware" Nations Truck is a very dishonest truck dealership. If they had only warrantied their work then they would have had a repeat customer.
I went into Nations Truck Center in Sanford to buy my daughter a used jeep. Gecko green used jeeps are hard to find and when you find one at the right price you buy it. After a little negotiating with the salesman we agreed on the price and I signed all the paper work for the Jeep and wrote the dealership a check for what we had agreed on.
The salesman then took us outside to let my daughter start “her new jeep”, his words. He then proceeded to show her how to operate the seats, radio, take the tops off, ext. He even said “you will have the coolest vehicle in your schools parking lot”. After we had been outside for about 10 minutes he said he would go in and check on the temporary tag.
When he came back out he said he had made a mistake and I needed to give them another $1000.00. This is when I saw a shift in their personalities. The salesman, the manager, and the guy in the back office. They all went from the friendly just here to help, to a group of argent A*******! They talked loud and fast about how the salesman had made a mistake and that I needed to give them another $1000.00. When I told them there was no mistake that they were just trying to squeeze another grand out of me, the guy from the back office asked if I would come with him to his office.
Once we were in his office, he again said his salesman had made a mistake but he would be willing to split the difference with me. Do they really think people are this stupid! This was used car salesmanship 101. Get my daughter emotionally tied to her first car and then milk the father for a few extra bucks. At this point it was not about the money. I have made it a point in my life not to give my money to liars. These guys are lower than low; playing on a little girl’s emotions. So if you want to be taken advantage of then buy your next vehicle from these crooks.

If you want to buy a quality vehicle at a quality price from quality people – then DO NOT SHOP AT NATIONS TRUCK CENTER! They will do whatever they can to rip an extra few hundred dollars from you.
