Auto Source of Texas

BEFORE YOU BUY FROM AUTO SOURCE OF TEXAS, PLEASE READ THIS I wish someone had warned me before I purchased my truck here. I bought a 2015 Ram 3500 after being told it was “one owner,” “road ready,” in excellent condition, and had received a “fine tooth inspection by certified technicians.” Based on those representations, I wired $39,513.20 in full before taking possession. What happened afterward has been a nightmare. An independent diesel inspection identified extensive mechanical and safety-related problems and characterized the truck as a “high-risk purchase,” with necessary repairs potentially approaching or exceeding $20,000. When I asked Auto Source of Texas for the inspection documentation supporting the “fine tooth inspection” I had been told about, they would not provide it. The paperwork raised even more concerns. Despite paying in full by wire transfer, my documents showed an “UNPAID BALANCE” of $38,111.36 and referenced a “Primary Loan.” A later receipt contained a loan ID, account number and an ACH payment even though I never applied for dealership financing and did not make an ACH payment. As I investigated further, I discovered additional serious discrepancies involving the vehicle's title history, VIN information, prior ownership and mileage. I have since filed a federal lawsuit regarding this transaction, where these allegations and the supporting documentation can be addressed through the legal process. I'm sharing my experience for one reason: I don't want another buyer to go through this. If you're considering purchasing here, just don't .... Or at least please protect yourself. Get your own independent mechanical inspection. Pull your own title and vehicle-history records. Verify the VIN and mileage. Read every document carefully. And get every representation made about the vehicle in writing. Do all of that BEFORE you send your money. I learned that lesson the hard way.
