okay here's how it started...i bought a car from a dealer of Suzki and it's a honda ex 02...okay...before we bought the car, we asked the dealer that if he fix the dents of that car we will buy it. So he made that deal, and he wrote on a paper of the Suzki contract. And now they won't fix it now. so if i take him to court will i win? i think i will win because he signed the paper and maded his own deal so the court is on him....yeah please help me think... thank you for your time.

You will win as long as you have it in writing. only thing the judge might say is, you may have the option of giving the car back if they wont fix it. otherwise the judge would make him pay for it just get three estimates to get it fixed and even get an estimate from his dealership if possible and then take it to the judge and make sure your sue for court costs as well.

If he's a representative of the Suzuki Dealership, then you may have a case. If he's not or the company itself is stating he wasn't authorized to make such a contract, then that's where it gets kind of shady.
However, even with the latter, that would fall under a form of misrepresentation and where the consumer was mislead.
The other part where it could get sticky is if you took the vehicle off the lot. If you drove the vehicle off the lot and have had the vehicle in your position, that's where it gets tricky.
If the contract doesn't specify on the contract what the "dents" were, there's no way to really prove that those dents were originally on the car at the time of purchase or if those dents were added during the time that it was driven off the dealership lot and held in your possession.
Even when you got to an Auto Pawn Dealer, a smart auto pawn dealer will make sure he inspects the vehicle and points out all the dents and scratches that were on the car before the car is taken in.
This is so that the auto pawn dealer isn't held liable in the event that the owner of the car argues that those dents weren't there. There are car owners that are sneaky or sly enough to do stuff like that. You have to be really careful with people.
That's why even when you borrow items from other people (especially items over $1,000.00), you inspect the borrowed item first and point out any scratches, nicks, dents, or problems with the item before you take it into your possession or else you could get blamed for it.
Even when you take your car from a maintenance inspection, it's recommended that you inspect the vehicle first. Make sure everything is in working order and as it should be. That's because as soon as you drive it off the lot and notice problems, the auto dealer or mechanics may refuse to do any addtional work or service on the car if you claim that it's their fault but if the vehicle has been in your possession for a certain amount of time since leaving their care.
You have to be very careful with vehicles or expensive items. That's why people are told to always examine their cars to check for scratches or dents so that you know when it happens. Some inexperienced car owners just hop into their car and hop out. They never check the passenger side of their vehicle to see if the side got dented, hit, or damaged.
If you're unable to resolve this issue, you should at least file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Some people think that's ineffective, but if you get enough people who file complaints against such an individual, it does eventually start to hurt their business if they're being sly in their business practices.
Even if you personally don't benefit from reporting individuals, those types of people will just continue exploiting others and engaging bad business practices causing someone else to get screwed over in the same way you did.

As long as it's on the contract yes.

sounds like it, but you need to talk to a lawyer.
