World Wide Vintage Auto 1993 Ram 250 Pickup truck purchase Denver CO
I purchased a 1993 Ram 250 Diesel with 110K miles on 7/17/2022. Now I take full responsibility for not going to look in person at the truck. If I had, I would not have purchased it.
I foolishly trusted the salesman. I asked if the 110K miles was actual and he said it was. He lied. The truck arrived with a dead battery. The driver for the carrier said it must have been sitting for a while. When I asked for a discount from the sales rep, he said it has been listed for less than 14 days.
The pic of the truck I think were slightly photo shopped to cover up some of the rust that was painted over. You can plainly see the overspray of the body rust on closer inspection. I think this was the reason that the pics of the truck were taken down so quickly.
The underside was given a gloss black paint to cover up a multitude of rust and wear. There is no way that this truck had 100K miles. Mechanicly the manual transmission shifted very hard and there is a lot of clutch noise.
The transmission is covered in oil. Many wires are frayed and exposed in the engine compartment and the K&N air filter has not been cleaned probably since new. It was black with oil and dirt. I am trying to contact a manager, but they won't answer my calls. I could list more but I just received the truck. I would strongly recommend not purchasing a vehicle form Worldwide Vintage Autos.

Yes I understand don't buy sight unseen. It was ultimately my fault, I trusted them that the truck was as advertised. Had I inspected it in person, I would have walked away. Lesson learned. They have promised to pay for the battery and ship it back to them so their "expert mechanics " can take a look.
I declined as there was no written promise to make it right and I would not pay the shipping costs. I have misssed one of their calls, however when I return the call they don't answer. So here is the take away, don't buy from them!
If you insist because you hate yourself and your money at least go look in person. That way you can have the satisfaction of seeing the lies and deceit yourself before you throw your money away.

Everybody knows the perils of buying a used car. Never, ever for one split second even think about buying a USED CAR, sight unseen from ANY dealer. It makes absolutely ZERO SENSE!
