I just purchased a used 4 wheel drive Jeep grand Cherokee that I was told had 4 wheel drive. After purchasing the vehicle I took it to a auto repair shop to have a few basics looked at.
Upon inspection by the mechanic he told me that the vehicle had no front shaft, which means it is only 2 wheel drive now and not 4 wheel drive and said this is usually done if a front differential is bad.
The main factor in purchasing this vehicle was for 4 wheel drive for getting to work in the winter. The estimated repair is 2,000 for used parts to add the front shaft and differential to make it 4 wheel drive again as it was said to be. 5,000 for remanufactured parts.
Can I file a claim because I was lied to about the vehicle being 4 wheel drive when it was discovered to not be because the front shaft and differential was removed? I would have never purchased it had it not been 4 wheel drive like I was told. I have written evidence with it being told it was 4 wheel drive.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
