If you were in influenced in buying a car because you were told a warranty was available, and if you paid the dealer for a three month warranty on the day you bought the car, should you reasonably expect the warranty to be available immediately? In this case it did not go into effect until a week later, because warranty company said they did not get the paperwork and payment from the dealer until a week later, but the dealer kept telling me they sent multiple faxes and paid for the warranty? I was stuck paying to repair a major breakdown which occurred on the first day.

I have worked for many dealerships, and this is how this situation should have been handled: They should have done the repairs at no cost to you, and then submitted the paperwork to the insurance company for reimbursement after they paid for the contract. Normally, all contracts for the current month are submitted at one time around the 5th or 6th of the following month, which is not your concern, you are covered from the time you take delivery ! I would also be concerned that you had a MAJOR breakdown on the day of delivery. I would ask the dealership to see the service records of repairs they did while vehicle was in their possession.Check these for handwritten notes by the mechanic. Unless this vehicle was sold as-is, it should have been checked by their mechanics before being sold, and any needed repairs should have been completed. It sounds like they may be trying to cover their ##### for something that should have been fixed before being offered for sale.

very very nearly all warranties offered, whether for used or new autos, are pointless. a great proportion of the fee is for commissions for the human beings who offered them to you, and the dealership, from which you acquire the motor vehicle. yet, basically on the grounds which you have a production unit guarantee, there are some issues that the prolonged guarantee will cover that the production unit guarantee does not. production unit warranties oftentimes cover the force prepare, and not plenty else, at an identical time as the prolonged guarantee would cover products alongside with window autos, electric powered issues, etc. there is not any fraud right here, the broking basically offered you a guaranty (that's provided to all people now-a-days), and you got it. shoppers be apologetic approximately does not equivalent broking fraud. make the most of the guaranty, and swap it down the subsequent time it incredibly is provided. sturdy success to you.

I would talk to a lawyer or legal aid. Sounds like a fraud case to me. Same sort of thing happened to a relative of mine and the dealer ended up paying for it all. They also sent me to GM school to make my uncle happier.

Small Claims Court. You have a valid case. If they took your money it was in effect.
