Hey all, I just came back from test driving a used (7000 mile) 2024 2500. Beautiful truck but after driving 4.5 hours to look at it I can't say I was impressed with the dealer. But looking for some advice to help me decide if I should pass on this one or not... There were two issues I have of concern with the truck.
1. Cosmetic - I know, it's an HD truck but the guy that put the first 7000 miles dragged something across the side of the bed and then tried to fill it with the worlds worst touch up paint job. Anyone know how easy that is to blend out? It's a bit heartbreaking to spend the money on a truck to not be the first one to make it look ugly. It doesn't look like scratches were deep but their repair was to take one of those paint pens and just run it all over it. There's other scratches and scuffs but this one is ugly. They said they'd try to blend it or polish it out.
2. Digital dash. After being told the truck was perfect, 3 hours into my drive I was told there was a problem with the BCM and regardless it needed to be fixed. It was unknown if it could be fixed today but they were trying to (they actually weren't but that's a different story) after waiting for a while they said it was the instrument cluster. Everything else appeared to work fine with the truck except that. One of the guys said this is a common issue with the newer digital GM dashes and after they replace it there's no issue. I googled it tonight and don't see it being a common issue. Anyone know anything about this? Obviously this is my bigger worry especially since it's electrical and since I'd be buying used I think I only get a 36k mile warranty.
Good news is, after today when they do the repairs they're going to drive it the 4.5 hours up here for me to look at to decide if I want it but these two issues are my main hang ups.
Appreciate any thoughts,
Mike
