Well about 5 months ago I had bought a used car from a local well known dealership. Last week I was going to have my insurance switched over to a different place, well they had given me some bad news. They asked me if I had bought the car brand new or not, I told them no that I bought it used with 6000 miles on it. Well she printed off this sheet, she handed it to me and told me, well this car has been in an accident and the total damage was 12,571.00. the only thing I could say was that I was gonna go back down to the dealership and ask them about it. I also told her that this isnt the first time this has happened to me. The same people that sold me this Evo sold me a wrecked G35 coupe also, thats why I got the Evo. Well The only thing I can do now is wait to hear what they say about it. Just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else Oh yeah and to everyone else from my experience just make sure you get a carfax check the vin # with your insurance agent and just be very careful. Just beacuse they are a local dealer and you know them very well doesnt mean that they wont rip you off Thanks for any feed backs.

 

wow, yea you can't buy a car without atleast doing carfax...

 

carfax is like 10 bucks man, you could have looked it up prior to buying.

 

Well they did do some kind of auto check but nothing showed up.

 

weal-sauce!... they played you man... sorry

 

Well for now Im just stripping my car and putting it back to stock so I can take it back to the dealership.

 

Well, I hope everything works out with your car. I hate when stealerships try to take advantage of people. Especially with a "repeat" customer.

 

Sorry to hear. As for me I will never buy a used car again. Especially an Evo that is more prone to crashes and abuse.

 

Yeah me too, thanks guys, I will keep you posted

 

was the price of the g35 and evo one of those "too good to be true" prices? ... good luck man! .. you still going to try to get an evo?

 

yea, put it back to stock.. and take a trip down to the dealer with your lawyer!! they didnt sell you a lemon per-say... but they still fawked you!!

 

Yeah tryin to get another evo ix mr or se and no the prices werent to good to be true same price every wheres else

 

that sucks

 

yeah i know tell me about it second time in a row.

 

$12k may sound like a lot of damage, but for the Evo it really isn't. Parts are really expensive and working on them just costs a lot. I would find out how the car was hit and how the damage was repaired. You just want to make sure parts were replaced and not repaired.
