Here is the deal. They don't have to announce previous damage if it wasn't announced to them (auction). If it was a trade-in then they should have seen the paintwork a mile away. We would never buy a car for that kind of money that has been wrecked. If they didn't see the previous damage there are only 2 sources to see if it had been wrecked, Vincheck and Carfax, neither one of them are even close to being perfect. Good luck with everything and let us know what happens.

 

Regarding Carfax... sometimes accidents do not appear. This could be due to several reasons:

1. Accident was not reported to police
2. State DMV does not release reports to carfax
3. Body shop does not release reports to carfax

There could be a multitude of other reasons why accidents don't show, so going by a Carfax statement alone is not the smartest thing to do.

 

Just curious....how much did you pay for the car?

 

I paid 28500 for the car, it had about 6000 miles on it

 

Ouch id be pissed paying that much if it was in perfect condition!

 

hey what dealership? Im wondering because Im from Raleigh and hope its not Leith Mitsu

 

that sux man,are you gonna get rid of the IX

 

Well, as long it doesn't have frame damage and engine damage the car is still good..

 

That's alot of money. Sorry about your experience it sucks that your a repeat customer and they didnt give your all the info on the car. Good Luck.

 

That dealership probably only sells damaged vehicles. If you bought a G35 and it was wrecked why wouldnt you check if the EVO was in an accident? What they do is get damaged vehicles and fix them so they can sell. Not a good look.

 

The dealer ship is here in smithfield, Deacon Jones

 

like he said...good luck with everything though, unfortunately, there isnt a used car police squad out there. was the car purchased as is?

 

Why would you buy a second car from a person who did this to you once?

 

Name of the dealership plz

 

terrible luck
