Awful Dealership Confrontation Read Options

[prompt]

About 2 weeks ago I bought a 1996 GSX . Looked perfect check outside of it and everyting. It was located in New Hampshire. I live in Maine..so it was a 1 hour drive. The guy gives me dealership plates since I bought the car "AS IS." Well I signed a paper with all of the others that stated they did a NH inspection. The slip showed what didnt pass inspection. Those were (front and rear brakes, ball joints, and moonroof tracking).

Well Today I go into a different mechanic for another opionion of an inspection in here in Maine. He puts the car up on the lift and tells me to come in. I come to find that the front of the car has been in a major accident. The frame is bent. The guy is almost crying telling me the story of how one of his best friends died due to thinking that straightining a bent frame will save the car. He also told me that the only thing that wasnt new on the the front of the car was 1 headlight and the motor.

So when I get home I call up the dealership and ask to talk to the manager. Before I mention anything to him. He says "Hi Jon, I would like my plates back by 5 today(I'm calling him at 4 p.m.) or I am calling your local police, and reporting that you stole my plates. So I think OK? Nice way to start a conversation. I tell him what the mechanic told me. So he says "Too ####ing bad. But I know I want my plates back."

Now from what I know...A bent frame of a car DOES NOT PASS INSPECTION ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I tell him I would like my money back, and he basically says again to #### off.

So tomorow morning I am calling up the the NH DMV and explaining about the situation. Which should basically have everything being brought to court. . But hey I got scammed $7,000 by some low life dealership.

Oh ya the name of the dealership is called PB's Auto Village ...located in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire. I strongly hope no one ever buys a car from there.


Looks like I am back to my celica. Thank god I didd't sell it yet. Kinda missed it anyways . Just wish it had AWD and 210hp stock like the GSX.

In my state if the car as been in any wreck it's illeagel not to tell the person about it. But anyway are u sure eclipses even have a frame ? most japanese cars dont' have a frame they have a unibody. Which it is kinda hard to bend, the only thing i've ever heard of bending was the craddle, and all parts of a unibody can be replaced. When i hit my crub someone told me my frame was bent, but of course celi's dont' have a frame. Anyway come to find out just my shocks and hub assemlies where bent causing it to look like everything was bent. oh any my rims where messed up too so everything looked at worst then it ended up being. SO dont' give up yet, but i'd bet it has a unibody instead of a frame, so have a BODYSHOP look at it and you can prolly fix the car, don't worry keep at it. just remember when your fixing stuff, get aftermarkets where u can, like shocks, u can get all factory parts u need from a junkyard.
