What is the name of your state? Louisiana
I recently bought a car from a used car dealer and today i went to DMV to get the tags an dpay the taxes on the car and was told i needed to have a disclosure signed by myself and the dealer stating the extent of the water damage! I had NO IDEA this car had water damage.the day after i bought it i started having electrical problems with it....starting it,buttons shorting out,stuff like that and still am having these problems.when i went to the dealer to get the title and bill of sale i told him of the problems i was having with the car and he chuckled and put the title down backside up and said sign here miss.A friend was with me when i got the car and he said they didn't tell him anything about the water damage either (he wrote the check for the car). My question is what do i do ?i do not want a car with water damage and i feel like all the electrical problems could be a direct result of this water damage. ahd i known this car had been under water ,in a swamp, a hurricaine or God only knows what else I would have never bought it. I just ran the vin # on carfax and it says there are 9 reports on the car! i didn't pay the fee to get them though. can i make themn take the car back ?what do i do?? How can i go about finding out for myself what type of water damage it sustained? please any advice will be appreciated. I want to educate my self before i call this dealer and know what my rights are .I feel like i was decieved and mislead in order to get me to purchase this car from a man who claims he built his business on HONESTY!
