Anyone know anything about this dealer who is located north of Dallas? I'm in Florida looking for an '08 white F250 Extended cab Lariat with a short bed. Can't find one in Florida, but this dealer has one listed on the web and I'm going to call them, but would like to find out something/anything about this dealer before I call. Thanks.

I have not had any dealings with them, but have been watching their truck selection for several years. They always seem to have one or more 350s/450s that look real nice. I took the time to drive by their address about a year ago--it is not your normal used vehicle lot. They show a lot of inventory--if they have all that they say, it is all inside a section of a light industrial park. I did not feel all that comfortable about the area, but that doesn't mean they are not a valid dealer--I did not stop in to check. There are several nice 450s for sale in Houston--they show real nice pics of the trucks in a clean area. The 2 lots, however, are in a section of town that is full of small car lots crammed with autos/trucks. Neither of the 2 lots even had room for me to pull in with my dually, and the street is a major 4-lane, no curb parking. Another one I tried to find was an empty lot based on the address given.
As to the Skipper Group--I believe they should be considered if they have a truck you like--make the choice to check by getting a valid OASIS run on the VIN before you do anything.
By the way, looks like prices on used '08 450s have started upwards.
