So girl friend bought a 2002 toyota from a dealer. Supposed to have a 20 point inspection. Well it already has major starting issues and the dash works whenever it feels like. So electrical issues there and then they said no wrecks. Well when you get under it you can see spare tape where the taped stuff off. And has the body color as overspray on the tape. So something needed resprayed at one point. And she called them and told them about all the issues and they want to charge her 200 bucks to just look at it. Needless to say she has owned it only for 20 days. Rant over
 


id be all up in their sh it, but thats me lol

charge me, i dont think so. but then again if its was sold as is, your kinda stuck on your own, they dont have to do a thing.
 


Must not him it's his workers. She's calling him now. But this isn't the first time. The first week she got it it needed brakes and he tried to charge her for it. But we told him we wouldn't make anymore pay ments if he didn't fix it sense she only gave him 200 hindered bucks and was gonna give him the rest in 2 weeks. So we just told him he could have it back. Then he finally fixed it. We will see how it goes when she calls him personally. It's a big Mercedes dealership
 


I used to work at a dealership. Those inspections are BS. We would do them and list everything a car needed. Then the used car salesman would determine what was "worth" doing. We could usually get them to do brakes if needed, but anything else that didn't create obvious red flags for selling was ignored. Sometimes, they wouldn't even use the OEM parts, they would go get the cheapest crap from autozone and tell us to use it. I don't know if they would give it to you, but I would ask for the signed inspection form with the mechanics signature before considering it worth much. All that means is someone looked at it, not nec fixed it. Sorry to hear it is such a mess. I would check into lemon law, but I don't know that it applies to used cars in all states. If you have something in writing stating it was not in a wreck and can prove otherwise, you should be able to get them to take it back. It will take some work though.
 
If there are lemon laws in effect up there, say, within a 30~ day period. It'd be no more other than following the state's guidelines and just taking the car back.

I'd jack it up and put it on cinderblocks and leave it on the sidewalk in front of the service door.

With a nice note saying:

Dear Uncle Shiester,

Here's the car back.

See you at Christmas.

Love,

Your Niece
 


You think that is bad, my friends dad owns a dealership here and sold him a car with a blown engine in it, and he wouldn't fix it or do anything to help him with it. SD lemon laws are pretty much non existent for used cars, once you sign the paperwork and drive it off the lot its your problem what happens to it.
