I didn't buy from Truck Village, but I almost did. I was interested in a 2008 Ford Ranger FX4 Level I they had on the lot for the absurd price of $18,700 or so. That's entirely off the wall for any truck like this and I can prove that one with some other listings I found in my search:1. Used 2010 Toyota Tacoma, TRD Offroad, Double Cab, 4.0L V6, 6 speed stick - $19,000Two years newer, a better brand, a bigger truck, and a better offroad package. $19K is out of my budget range and I had a few concerns about that dealership's reviews.2. Used 2006 Ford Ranger, 4.0L V6, Supercab, FX4 Level 2 - $14,000Overall good condition truck, but it sold before I could make an offer.3. Used 2007 Ram 1500 4.7L V8 Double Cab w/ offroad package - $17000Bigger truck, bigger engine, better offroad package. Also sold before I could get a chance to look at it.So, we have a fair basis that there are other trucks for better price without a doubt. So, what about NADA, KBB, and the like? Well, I talked to Dave. I'm convinced Dave is simply incompetent. Book value on an 08 Ranger, FX4, Stick, with bed liner and tow package is about $14,800 as reported by the NADA. On my visit for the test drive, Dave disputed this. He omitted to check the box for the truck having a stick shift transmission, which significantly lowers its value. In their favor, the truck does have 54,000 miles on it, all from its first owner. Clean retail is $16,600 and trade in is $13,425.Too bad the truck wasn't clean. On the test drive, the A/C simply did not work at all and I'm not entirely surprised. Carfax records show that the truck was a fleet vehicle and that it had been bouncing between dealer lots via various auction services. Still, I liked the truck and made an initial offer of $15,000, leading to a final offer of $16,900. Dave wouldn't pass $17,800. He claimed the A/C Compressor had to be replaced, at a cost of $1,700, and this massive hit to their profit margins justified a higher asking price.The truck gets a 3 month warranty, doesn't cover everything, its demonstrated the complete failure of the AC Compressor which rarely fails (indicator of high engine hours), he's lied about the NADA value by failing to properly use their site, and we're still not finished.In the process of all the bargaining, they start using KBB Values. Kelly Blue Book is more favorable to the dealers, whereas NADA is a better weighted averaging of what vehicles and features sell for. Well, they lied about KBB too. Fair retail is $15,764. The high retail, for a beautiful, warrantied, factory-condition truck, is $18,014.Even KBB, the higher of the pricing services, doesn't go as high as these crooks. Buy from Truck Village if you're interested in RipOff Rate pricing.
