why? Used cars for the most part are all bought at auctions

The reason for my radius rod being broken was because IT WAS INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN!!!


did you guys not take a look at the car good before you bought it? Are the creases obvious when you open the hood or do you have to get underneath?

if they dont work with you, drive down to florida on "vacation" conviently before the next hurricane landfalls!! just kidding

hope everything works out right for you

the fact that the dealer quickly said they would pay for damages and "try to get you into something else" with out any fight at all makes me think they knew they shafted you
they usually wont do anything on their expense if they fell confident they werent wrong

make it a point to tell them you feel very unsafe driving the car

FYI- Talked to the guy in charge of the dealership. He didnt take my being pissed very seriously. Probably because I have a vagina. Anyway, he said I should bring the car up this week so they can look at it and assess everything. I'm still fuming.
