Does anyone have any experience with vehicle quality of the SUV's and trucks at D;s Motorsports in Ellsworth. Their prices are always below book, and beat out the other local dealers and used car dealers in the area by a mile.

Their warranties are small, but they always give a new inspection sticker.

If you think its too caustic or something then please PM me with your comments.

The fact that they do not list the VIN numbers online makes me very suspicious about whether or not the stock is salvage. All of the used vehicles are very high mileage, probably very close to expensive repairs to keep running.

There are better prices nearby with clean titles and significantly lower mileage (based upon the only 3 cars/trucks in stock right now):

Turns out to be a moot point. We bought a 2007 SUV with a 3 year/36K extended powertrain warranty today.

Nearby to me and Nearby to you apparent have a different meaning. Ellsworth and Manchester are four hours apart on a good day, maybe 4.5 on a bad day. I'd be unlikely to drive that far. What good is a warranty when the dealer is 4.5 hours away?

Only when its a new car warranty. Used car warranties are only available at the place you bought it. If the car breaks down I can't have it towed 4.5 hours, 248 miles.

I don't know, a 2007 suv could be one of many different makes. I was hoping the answer would be a tad more specific, but thanks for point out that answer.
