6G Celicas Forums

Thank you very muchs guy for the help. I am calling a Criminal lawyer tomorrow!

hey I just have a quick question since everyone was on the subject. Lets say I bought a car on saturday and found out it was bad when I took it home and didn;t want it. But the dealership is closed on sundays so could it be legal to return it on monday?

Piss on his dealer plates and freeze them in the freezer....then after you sue him...give them back

I think it's 24-48 business hours.

Could I return the car now? My dad and I took it back to the dealership on monday because sunday was closed. The manager said there was no way in hell that I could return it. They gave me false information on the car. The clutch was bad, Bad front and rear brakes, and CV joints were bad. I got all those fixed out of my own pocket.

I swear, car dealers are some the worst kind of people on earth. I haven't met a good one yet. Gotta watch out with the 'as is', I believe once you sign it, you've voided any lemon law you had....

Did you get a second opinion on the car? If it is truly messed up, a second opinion would help your case.

Ya the first one they didnt evenput the car on a lift? WTF...second one put it on the lift and showed me personally.

Only business days count, monday to friday. I guess just talk to a lawyer, Id imagine you have a case considering all the false information he gave you.

it would be a civil case. get a civil lawyer.

i say for our nationwide 6gc meet that im planining. we hit up that dealship and just stand there and give mean looks 30 deep yo lol j/k. hey if you need lawyer help let me know. i know of guy that can help you out. he will answer any questions i have fore free, and look over paperwork to see what your next step should be. so if you want i can do that for you?? i got screwed on my celica. i payed like 13,000 at the end of it i was so siked i didnt even care. i took it home and it was in a accident i didnt know about. but by that time it was to late. so yea im here to help. i know how ya feel its a shame when you get ****ed in the ass at a dealship. they wouldnt even give me a job double screwage.

AFAIK, you signed an "As-Is" paper. No lawyers will even mess with you knowing that.

Keep your head up though, there's gotta be some loophole in there somewhere.

bent frame is the loophole. its like selling a car w/ faulty brakes its against the law

im still wondering if car-fax has a buy-back gaurentee(sp)

Prompt,
As many know, I work at a dealership. (and i'm not shady Soltrain ). If the previous owner didn't claim or take it to an certified body shop - ones that reports - then carfax will come up blank. The carfax buyback only means that if a report was made and carfax doesn't say so, then they buy it. No report is made, it passes Carfax. Ok, aside from that. State safety inspections are very very minimal. I for one, even working at a dealership, am scared of how weak they are. For example, if the car has a Check Engine light on, thats all that needs to be checked. Meaning the window will say "Check Engine Light is on," you ask and you'll get a "we didnt go that far into it." DAMN! So, a frame damaged car that looks almost perfect would probably pass state inspection. The big conserns are Cat back exhaust is ok, intake is ok, oil is ok, etc. Not problems with the radio, or clutch above 6000rpm, or whatever. Which sucks for purchasers. Since you signed a "as is" paper, your moreorless screwed. As soon as you drove that car off the lot, you said that the car in its current condition is ok, and that you accept all problems that are on the car. You really cant hold the dealership at fault. My dealership would most likely help you out because you just bought the car, but we have a good rep too. Find out what its gonna take to fix her up and ask the owner of the store to try and help you out. If he says no, well then you should just accept it rather then get mad. Only because he can counter-sue with harrassment. ALSO, give him his plate back!!!! Your gonna get in series trouble if he calls the police. I know this post isn't that great and doesn't leave much hope, but goodluck and keep up posted.

I'm gonna ask my service department if frames would be checked

EDIT: After talking with my used car manager, he says that if we check that the frame is good but its not, we're F'd. However, he added that Wisconsin has the best safety in the country. Wisconsin is Super-user friendly and its a hard safety to squeeze problems by. Good luck, get an attorney and ask them for legal advice.

hey, at the very least you should call the better business buero and report him. Definately have a lawyer check out your case, they usually do that for free so they can determine if they are gonna make any money from your case. If your really bored because you can't play with your new car, you can hang out by his dealership and tell customers that are trying to buy from him, what happened to you and tell them to go somewhere else. Maybe if you cost him enough business, he'll try and get you some money back. Just try reporting him to any business beuro's you can find so other people might be warned. Good luck.

Call a lawyer

update?

i say take him to that stud of judge judy hahah or either keep it as a nice 7000 dollar project....when i worked at mitsubishi they inspected then pretty good in and out...just cuz thet could sell them for more...paint was touched up,bumpers re done even dents were removed...anything bad would just be auction material....but sounds like you got a mom and pops place....just try your hardest to sue him..

After I called the DMV in NH. They told me to write a letter of complaint to the state police department. Which I did and mailed out today. When I got home the Hampton Falls police called my house, because the guy actually called the police. So I told them the story and the cop talked to him. Now all the sudden the guy is willing to take a look at the car. Which isn't going to happen.

Firstly, why did you buy a car that isn't a Toyota?

Also, how could you buy a car without having someone check it out for you first? there is a say in my country that goes: i am blinding you and sell and you keep looking and buying. Never take anything for granted and never wait for the law to prove your point.
