Thank you! I think maybe he was talking about lemon law rebuilt title but this isn’t helpful for my case since warranty is not included. So I gave up on it. There want be any nice gesture from dealers although I’ve read multiple reviews on yelp suggesting fraud and vehicles presented as working properly but having multiple serious problems coming up later like transmission, brakes, battery… it would be hard to prove though, I guess I could connect with those other people
Reading consumer reviews before making a purchasing decision can be helpful. Reading consumer reviews afterwards tends to be less helpful.

Buying used cars can be a crap shoot.

Many moons ago, my BF and I bought a used car from a small dealer near my work. We had been doing business with him for a couple of years (he was our mechanic). We trusted him and didn't get the car inspected before purchase.

We had the car about 2 months before it **** the bed. Nothing to do about it except learn that very frustrating, but very good lesson.

Pretty great! Wish cars were less expensive nowadays. I can get used piece of trash for 15k right now

I know... my brother sold his Subaru SUV 2010 with 180k miles (kept in great condition and very well maintained) for 13k. This was in 2021 when used cars were in huge demand due to the pandemic. I was shocked at how much he got.

Hopefully things will get better soon. :)

Best of luck to you!
