I wasn't trying to call you out so my bad if it seemed that way. I do agree with you with one thing for sure. You should by what you want because there is nothing worse than regretting a MAJOR purchase. The only reason I may seemed a bit harsh is because I just wanted people to be well informed about both Nations and Gibson. I just assumed that you were someone I know from Knights trying to put in their 2 cents and for that forgive me. Further more I appreciate your input though I must say I never saw anything like what you describe. Unless that truck with the mud you refer to was parked in the wholesale as is section that is.

This one I seriously doubt. Must be an employee from Knights. Do you really expect us to believe that ANY dealer will go through the trouble of replacing the carpeting and not clean the floor pans? The undercoating you speak of is there for a reason and Gibson, Nations and Knights all do it. The difference being all in the prep work before it gets sprayed. If it was placed on a rack and thoroughly pressure washed ahead of time it will not only look nice but it also protects your truck for years to come. Quad-14 I need to ask you something. Where you not looking to buy a truck? Your statement "all they wanted to do was sell me a truck" is only what they are there for. How else do you think they or any other dealership keep their doors open? Did Knights give you your F250 for free? Where was this truck from Knights serviced because last time I checked there was no service department there.

This isn't this first time this has happened. The major issue you have is you signed away your rights as a consumer when you purchased from Nations. There is a form called an alternative resolution agreement that you signed and probably didn't even realize it. I suggest if your ever confronted with this paper anywhere in any vehicle transaction, walk away! I have sent you an email, please feel free to respond there or if you prefer, I can continue to post here. Hope this helps.

They use Hinton's auto body repair in Longwood. It's off 17-92 behind the Thai market. It's between the old Ride Now and Maaco. I really have nothing bad to say about James he was a good guy to work for. Currently I'm going back to school and getting out of the car market all together. I spent too much time in the business and got burnt out.

The prices have gone up everywhere as far as trucks are concerned. If you think they are high in Florida check some listings up north. I have seen dealers come down to pay full retail here in Florida. They take them up north and advertise a rust free Florida truck and get top dollar for them. While in your search be weary of trucks from Texas. It seems those trucks have been worked hard. Here in our wonderful state a lot of people buy trucks for the pure beauty of a truck, not to work the crap out of them.

Like I stated I worked for both. You will find all kind of misleading information about Gibson. Most of those are written by employees and I have to tell the truth, I am guilty of it. One thing I know is Gibson does and outstanding job of making sure EVERY truck they warranty has been totally reconditioned. The owner personally inspects and road tests the trucks after they have gone through the shop. They do not cut corners or inflate the shop bills. That is more than I can say for Nations. They also have nothing to hide, ask for a Carfax at both dealerships, Gibson actually gives you a free one on their website! Is there anything in specific you wanted to ask me? I would be happy to answer honestly. I'm not here to bash Nations either, I'm just tired of people being misinformed.

I'll make this easy for all of you in the market for a pre-owned truck. I worked as a sales person at both dealerships and would be happy to answer any question you may have about either dealership. If you do your research online you will see many conflicting stories about were to go for the best truck at the best price. Many of the things you read online have been written by employees and I know this from first hand experience. I am no longer employed by either and will be happy to share my experiences about both so you can be fully informed. I am doing this as a public service and require no compensation what so ever. My advice is free and completely unbiased. Thank you and I would love to hear anyones opinion and/or experience with either truck store.
