Yard report from Fargo, ND: Red River Motor Co. runs about 85 vehicles, weighted toward diesel pickups. Dealer permit posted at the office window; checked against the state board and it is current, roughly 18 years on the books.
Lot address: 8447 Haul Rd, Fargo, ND. Visitor parking: Front-lot customer stalls facing the office; overflow on the side street near Fargo lot gate.
- Doc fee: $249, printed on the buyer's order — not a surprise line at signing.
- Pre-purchase inspection allowed on their lift or off-site — no pushback.
- Titles: staff says about 82% of units have title in hand; they showed the folder when asked.
- Coverage: no warranty — as-is, but any inspection welcome.
Lane verdict: workable but negotiate. The metal is fine; the add-on sheet (etch, nitrogen, prep) is where they make their margin. Strike the soft add-ons and the deal pencils.
