I bought a used car in 2000 from a dealership "AS IS" and they also sold me an extended warrenty. This year, my a/c died and I took it in to the Mitsubiti dealership to have it fixed...via extended warrenty. They said they could not fix it because it had no factory parts in the car because who every fixed the car from the WRECK did it incorrectly (the hoses are jammed in there). When I bought the car, they guys I took with me to view the car said that it had been wrecked. The salesman swore up and down the car had never been wrecked, he argued with us for about 20-30 mintues on this subject. So we ended up taking his word and I purchased this car. He then proceeded to sell me and extended warrenty that NEVER even covered the car because it did not have factory parts in the car! I have tried to call the dealership to talk to the Sales Manager but he is never available for my phone calls. What are my options? Do I even have any options?

"What are my options?"
*** Assuming you mean options to try to force the dealer to repair, there really are none. The first problem you would have would be in proving the claims made by the salesman. You should have gotten him to put the 'no accident' statement in your contract, and then you might have had a chance. Also, you have a responsibility to inspect the vehicle. You did that and your own 'inspectors' told you it had been wrecked. Therefore, you were aware of the history and still accepted it. That waives any liability on the dealer as to any claim it was 'hidden'.
