Buying & Selling - November 2007

I bought a used car from a dealer in California, in 2006, yesterday we went to trade it in and they ran a carfax report, come to find out there is frame damage on our car. When we bought the car we asked them if it had ever been in an accident, they said no. It was not under warranty or certified. Do I have any legal recourse? I would have never bought the car if i knew there was frame/structual damage to it.


Additional Details


I went and talked to the dealer, he offered to pay the rest of my $8500 loan off, get me a new car with no money down. What do you think?

Which is easier to do after 3 years from having filed bankruptcy, buy or lease? Also, does giving $5000 down make it easier to buy or lease a vehicle?

I went to a dealership, saw a car I really liked; a FULLY loaded '05 nissan maxima SL. I drove it and loved it. They offered 21,500 and I offered 19000. They said for that vehicle they cant do that, so I walked out. They called me the next day (yesterday) and offered it for 20,500. I said 20,000 and he said he has to talk to his boss. He called back and left a message and said he cannot for 20k, the offer still stands at 20,500 b/c it is fully loaded, low miles, navigation, high resale value, blah blah.... I left him a message saying sorry, I will not budge, my offer is 20,000. Thank you for your business. but he never called me back... What now?!? Should I take it for 20,500 or will I be making a terrible mistake? This is my first time, HELP!!!

Or is that just a myth?
Just bought a new car, and would like to do some customizing,
however, I don't want the value of the car to depreciate any more than it already will. Suggestions?

i need to put down money for a new car, b/c the car i have now- the transmission is broken and the car has over $2,500 worth of damages. so i was thinking: how could i get in a car accident so i could total my car to get cash from my insurance company? should i do this (is that fraud)? is there another way my insurance could give me cash to put down on a new car?

we just bought a new car, and the dealer said they had to order a car title for us from California and we live in Boston, so they said it would take a while, is this true or is the dealer playing a game with us. we've been waiting for a long time for this car (2008 Honda Accord) but anyway, they said the car just came in but they needed a title, so we have to wait even longer, so is this normal? thanks

you know how dealers are they always offer less than your car's worth so im selling it so i can get a new hybrid car....my pt cruiser is worth around16 thous and i know buyers cant always get cash so what other safe method can you use to get the money to pay off the remaining loan on the car?
plus what paper does seller/buyer has to sign?

What do you guys think is the most fun car to drive that costs under $25,000 new or used. I'm looking for something with a manual transmission and good gas mileage. So far I like used BMW 3-series and used VW Jetta GLI 1.8t

I bought a used car from a local dealer last Friday. I already contacted my insurance and the new car added to my policy. Now what? I suppose that I need to pay my sales tax. What do I need to do to register the vehicle and transfer my plates? Does the dealer do any of this for me? I financed the car so I do not have the title. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, here's my question.

I drove the same vehicle for 6 years and was very close to paying it off. When i impulsively went and picked out and financed a brand new RAM last July. (during a 6000 cash back deal)

Then Gas prices jump what 50 cents at least, and trucks are all over the lots. MPG's have never bothered me, i mean i drove a jeep that got maybe 13/mpg's. but i'm not happy with my truck. its too big and i have literally changed my mind. talk about buyers remorse big time!

I want to the do the same!!! So what now!?

What are my options?

I have a 1991 Ford Escort LX Hatchback. I recently hit a deer with it causing front end damage. It will need a new radiator, hood, and anything right by the radiator I'm sure since it got pushed back a little bit. I have someone interested in buying it...any idea what I should charge? KBB says that this car in "Fair" condition is $885.

It does have pretty new tires (just put on in May) and also has a brand new exhaust. It runs great and the body is quite good on it still.

I've been emailing this person back and forth since he has seen my Jeep for sale on yahoo autos. He asked me some general questions about mileage, condition, whatnot. Now he says he needs a photocopy of the title before the bank will issue him a loan for the car. Is this a normal requirement of banks before they loan money, or is this another online scam?

I just bought a new car on Oct 18. Everything was great then i got a phone call from the place i bought the car. I got the call on Nov. 10th. saying that I signed the wrong contract. That Mazda didnt approve my loan but a place called Wachovia did. They told me to brong my 1st months payment with me as well. So we went up there the next day, signed the new contract, the old one was shredded and i gave them my check for the amount of the 1st months payment which was due about a week later. Well i just recieved a phone call today from Wachovia saying that my payment is 11 days late and my credit is drastically dropping. I am FURIOUS! I called the place i bought the car and they said the check cleared. I called wachovia and they said that they are lying. Now they will not return my calls! What do i do?! Im so upset! Thank you for your advice!!

So here's the deal... My husband and I purchased a car (Car #1) from a dealer and were paying it off... Then my husband purchased a 2nd car from the same dealer.... I finished paying off Car #1 and went to retrieve the pink slip, however, the dealer said he wouldn't give me the pink slip because my husband was 3 months behind on the payments for the Car #2... So my husband returned the Car #2 (after having made a year of payments on it) to the dealer, and again, I went to claim the pink slip... Now the dealer says that he won't give me the pink slip until my husband pays him the 3 months of payment he was behind on for the Car #2 (the car that was returned)

Is this legal? Is this even fair? What should I do? Help!!!
