What or who to believe? Cars get crashed all the time and can be rebuilt as good as it came from the dealer. If the car was wrecked, chances are it was not totalled and salvaged, repaired and traded in to the dealer you bought it from. Try to get the dealer to take it back and get another car from him that is a "certified" car. He may do it. You have little recourse.

Unless you have proof that the dealer knew of the damage, there is nothing you can do. Dealers get cars from all different places, some they buy at auction, some they get in trade. If a person is trading in a car that was previously damaged, 99.8% of them will not tell the dealer, because they want the most money that they can get for the vehicle.
If the dealer bought the car damaged, and had it repaired, you may have a claim that they failed to disclose the damage. If they did not know, they have no responsibility.
Before you bought this car, did you have it checked out by your own qualified mechanic? Did you do a title history, such as a Carfax check? If not, why not?
Clean title means that it is not branded salvage. It does not mean that the car never was damaged. Even a clean history report does not tell you everything. If I were to wreck my car, and I did not put in an insurance claim, but rather paid the repair shop myself, the damage would not be reported to Carfax.
Enjoy your car!

Depends on if you can prove the dealer knew, and that you asked. And if hte paperwork states it was clean. IF it did you ahve a case otherwise...
Good luck let us know what happened. Anyone should do a carfacts report prior to buying. But you know that nowI have a feeling you probably will be sol.

it may't be wrecked, it should be out of alignment in the rear end, see in the experience that they'll do the alignment on the motorcar.you probably did signal so that you're an proprietor. yet when it became quite wrecked and they did not divulge that advice you'll have some recourse by your state criminal specialist generals workplace, and the broking board on your state. next time have them do what's named vehicle verify, this is extra constructive than automobile fax.
