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 biggrin.gif . Just wish it had AWD and 210hp stock like the GSX.
