And for your retarted brain, I didn't want any damage on a car because next owner is going to look up the same vin# I did and find same stuff, and no one wants a previously damaged car for a price of a good one!!! So go suck on it, and think before posting
Again, your post clearly demonstrates your intelligence, or lack there of. When you're not smart enough to communicate, I guess you have to hit people. You really showed him and the rest of us.

And sorry to the OP for your thread being polluted by the mouth breather. Good luck with everything.

What I would do, would be to find out who was the prevous owner of the car, and find out where the repairs were made. If in fact the body work was done at the dealership then for sure you have a very strong case. But if the work was done from a body shop, then there a couple different ways it could go. One, the body shop can get into alot of trouble for not reporting this as an accident, or repair on the car. Second, the dealership still has to disclose this info to you. They for sure knew about the accident, heck your ins knew, so the dealerhip in order to resell a car they have to find out the whole history of the car from day one. This is done a couple of different ways, through the dmv, and as well as data base searches that have mass ammounts of date on vehicles which dealships, collections agencies, law enforcment, lawyers, have access to. They knew about the accident and have provided you with no paperwork to show for it. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE, you have a very strong case here. And for the people who have no idea how our legal system works please for this guys sake, dont put your two cents in here its just confusing him more.

im glad you have faith in the legal system. but these cases arent unusual, and dealers dont even flinch when a customer tries to take them to court.

you can try to make a case against the dealership. i am rooting for you. but the burden on proof is on you that the dealer purposely sold you a wrecked car. and im assuming that the dealer kept all the copies of paper work, or most of the things that you signed anyway. good luck having them "find" it. again, i am not telling you not to file legal action. i hope you win and get a new car + punitive damages from the dealer. but i dont think the odds are in your favor.

My brother actually bought a new car that was damaged during delivery. After he tried to sell it he found out that it had been damaged so he took the dealership to court and they ended up buying it back it from him for payoff. He was out the payments that he had made over the course of 8 months but he wasn't upside down on it.

Yea dude, whatever....

I told people what happened, in that case it was the only thing I could do. And you're just a regular wussy... I stood up for myself and my girl, the guy was lauging at my face saying I can't do anything... Maybe I can't get the car straight, but he definately was wrong saying that I can't do anything.

And for you, go find something else to do, I don't see you contribute to this thread

Happened to me once. Apparently full-disclosure isn't required in the state of IL... That's what I got told.

Internet arguing is cool!

As far as the on-topic portion of this thread goes:

If I get mugged in an alley, I'll never go down that alley again.

Ok, seriously bro how are you going to get pissed about the car having been in an accident and it's now 5 MONTHS after you bought it? Think about what you're saying for a minute. 5 months and a bunch of mods later and you're just now going to get mad about it having had some damage? Sound a bit ridiculous yet? No? Well let's continue...

So then you say you're going to "put it back to stock and drive down to the dealership with your lawyer". You're going to complain to the dealer about covering up the fact that it was previously damaged, but it's perfectly acceptable for you to hide that you modded the car though?

Hypocrite much?

Maybe you *technically* have a case, maybe you don't, but it comes down to wasting your time, your lawyer's time and the dealership's time on a case that is complete BS. How are you going to blame the dealership for your own lack of attention to detail? They did their job; they sold you a car. It's up to YOU to decide whether or not to buy the car, damaged or not, before you sign the dotted line. That means it is up to YOU to take the initiative and do the required checks and such to ensure there is no major damage to the car, no matter what the dealer tells you.

Man up, quit your complaining, keep the car and get all this lawsuit and complaining crap out of your head. The dealer didn't play you, you played yourself, son.

+1 I agree. You can never just buy a used car without physically looking over it. If the car had that much damage to it, there is bound to be sounds of repair. I always look for frame damage on a used car (top to bottom). Any panels that don't quite line up, slightly off paint, usually there will signs somewhere. On top of that you should always check carfax. If you cannot find any signs of damage, there probably was no frame damage, and you should be happy with what you got. Go to an alignment shop and see what they have to say. If they are unable to get the suspension straight, that means something is tweaked. Sucks you got swindled, but you have to do your homework before you buy.
