Hi All
I was looking to buy my first car, my bro in law suggested a dealer who would go to dealer auctions for me and buy a car I liked for $300 fee. I asked to go along with him to the auction but he insisted its better if he went alone. He told me he would check everything, if the cars are ok, what they needed etc and tell me about it before buying the specific car. He was suppose to call me when he was at the auction to tell me the details. I specifially told him many times I didnt want a car with any previous accident. He said no problems he would know if they were in accident. After going to only 1 auction he bought me a car without telling me about it first. My inlaw bought his car with this dealer and so i didnt think I would need to take it to the mechanic since the dealer has a shop. I paid $14,500 with tax yesterday and today I hear noise comming from the tires while going 35-45mph and car slows fast after letting go of gas pedal. He told me its the tires, so he rotated them today but still the same. I did carfax and autocheck report on the vin today only to see an accident reported on 2/17/09, I will get the police report tomoro. I didnt tell the dealer i knew for sure it was in an accident. I called and asked him, if it was in an accident will you get me a different one since i specifially asked for car with no accident. He tells me it wasnt in an accident but if it was he will not replace it
. I signed papers stating car is "as-is" but i didnt think that appied to cars with accidents which were not reported to buyer before purchase. he also told me the car would need tires by summer but now says it needs tires now at $400 cost to me. We also had no contract stating i wanted car with no accident, but me and my bother in law told him in person that I wanted car with no accident. What can I do if dealer refuses refund or replacement?
Thank You Much In Advance
