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 ![]() |

Few months went by talking to state police. They didn't help. Then tried the Attorney General..he didn't help either. Well 2 weeks ago I went ahead and hired a lawyer. First thing he tells me is that he has this in a bag if we go to court.
So at that time he filed a "demand letter" telling them that within 30 days. They have to pay me the cost of what I paid for the car, what I have made for payment, the interest ive paid, and what I have paid in insurance. If they do not comply within the 30 days. They are going to court. Where I can sue for up to 4x the amount of the accumulation of everything stated above. He also said since hes 100% he is going to win. He will do a constingacy(sp?) base pay. Where I don't have to pay the lawyer fees until the suit is over, and he'll take a 1/3 of the final amount. Which should leave me with roughly $16,000. Which I will spend on a 98 GSX that isn't broken. ![]() ![]() |
