about a week ago i hit a turn going too fast and the car slid and hit the curb on the left side. the two left wheels cracked. the tires were still inflated and the rack and pinion broke. i went to the dealer today to get stuff out of my car and a guy said he needed to talk to me. he said that looking at how i cracked the rims, the car will never drive the same again. he said after a month the car will begin to vibrate. he kept saying it will never drive again. he then said to get the insuracne to replace the whole car. or trade in my evo 8 for a new evo. is he telling the truth or is he just trying to make money.

 

Who said that and what dealer ?



.

 

i think he was a manager, LB, and i just couldnt tell if he was trying to help or if he was trying to sell a car.

 

Some cars will never be the same again.
It depends on the extent of the damage.

I would look elsewhere, H.B. Mitsubishi or SouthCoast.

I'd get an INDEPENDENT opinion on that one before believing someone who could benefit financially from you getting scared by this guy with the crystal ball, trading in the Evo to this same dealership when the insurance co. won't total it, and then being able to make money on both a new car AND a nice used Evo that only needed some minor work.

Yeah, I'm paranoid but you know, most of them really ARE out to get you.

 

If he wants you to trade it in, he is scamming you. He will convince you that your car is only worth $10,000 and sell you a new EVO at full price PLUS the remainder of your payoff on the old EVO. Then he will do $2,000 in repair work to your old EVO and sell it to somone else for full "used" price (damn near full price for a new EVO).

Hes full of it. Itll never be the same agian? What. Dude its a car unless theres extensive frame damage replace the broken parts and hey what do you know your cars is fixed. I never got on that "Itll never be the same again" bandwagon. "Itll never be the same" I mean come on

 

got pics of the damages??
That dealer dude is bull****ting you man. If they fix properly it will drive just like new.

 

if you look at the car it looks 100% fine beside the rims are cracked on the outer rim part of the wheels and the tires are still inflated

 

and i was also thinking why would they want me to trade in a broken car if it will never be teha same again

 

Last dealership I worked at everyone was on crack, embezzling money or a multiple felon who could only work in car sales. The industry is a natural fit for these kinds of people they are sadists and sociopaths. Just ignore this guy and get a 2nd independent opinion.

 

yea im gunna have them fix it then drive it to another place and have it looked at. if he is telling the truth i can always trade it in after they fix it if that is the case right? this guys a peice

 

As long as the frame is ok, the suspension and rims ect can always be ok. your car should be fine.

 

Now you're thinking straight.
