What's wrong with this truck?

[velocicaur]

I stumbled on this truck today. 2020 F250 Lariat. It looks like it was a fleet vehicle but how many fleet trucks are Lariat? It was probably the boss's truck.

It's about ~$8000 less than the next comparable vehicle. I checked the VIN on Carvana and they offered 48,800 for it. It seems like a heck of a buy at that price. You can probably drive that truck for the next three years for $7500.

Why is it so cheap?

Edit: I don't have the money. Someone can pick it up and I won't be bitter.

What does the car fax say? Accident maybe, engine or trans issue? I have heard they were having transmission issues in those years

Looks like it was a rental, no accidents according to carfax.

 

[velocicaur]

Carfax is clean. It has the 10 speed in it.

The rental thing is strange but it says fleet on the carfax toward the bottom. Either way, drive the thing and get rid of it with 90-100k miles. You get to drive a $70k truck for about $7500 plus maintenance.

Heck of a deal if it checks out.

It may be a misprint, I had one that was on a suburban, dealer refused to honor advertised price. If it’s legit, scoop it up

something is definitely wrong. I say its a typo on the pricing or there's something fishy with the title. There is no scenario where a dealer just gives a $20k discount for no reason

Did you confirm the dealer exists? Has to be a scam. Go through the list of trucks on their website. No way this is real.

I went on Reddit and it does seem legit. Summofaabitch.

It seems like there is one near me. They must be trying to buy market share with some crazy low prices.

 

[JaCobro]

I’m assuming all those reduced prices are for the same reason.

 

[velocicaur]

That would explain it.

These vehicles must have insurance on them. Why wouldn't they get fixed? Is a Carfax report with hail damage that bad? It shouldn't be a big deal if it was fixed properly and an insurance repair should be decent?

Still an interesting truck but I'm glad that someone figured it out.

I'm assuming the pictures aren't current. That dealer is only ~20 minutes from me. We've had a hand full of storms come through with some serious hail in the past few weeks. Know of a few people that had cars totaled out. I was lucky enough to only get golf ball sized with minimal damage but baseball and even softball size was pretty common.

That doesn't show up on the Carfax and I couldn't find it listed anywhere on the page for that particular truck.

But I still think it's a bait and switch.

Hail damage. Probably $10-12k worth. rather than fixing it, they'll discount it $8k and scoop the balance.

EDIT: It's sketchy that they didn't update the photos after the hailstorm.

I don’t see it on the auto trader listing page. But it is on the dealer mobile version listing page. It’s literally the last sentence of the ad at the bottom of the page. Which I think is a bit sketchy also.
