A few of you might have seen my new car,the Red/Purple looking Trans Am. Well I picked it up on Monday for around 7800$ and it only had 60k on the motor. Perfect condition..or so it seemed and I was told only 1 owner that babied it. I gave the car a walk around and checked it out seemed fine to me. Car fax came up clean besides the fact that between 95-02 one owner had it. Than for 17k the dealer drove the car, yet insisted only one owner, to me, thats two owners.
Here is where I made my mistake, I trusted the dealer enough to think he wasn't going to rip me off. First he promised me new brakes and an oil change before I picked the car up. Fast foward to now and I found out that he left the dirty oil in the car put a new sticker in the window that says it was changed and only did the front brakes, he claims he only promised me the fronts and not the rear, total bullshit.
So I take it to my mechanic, now I feel like he ripped me off. The mechanic as soon as I pull up goes "what the...this things been in an accident", apparently the alignment seemed off to him, later on I find out the frames creased or some shit, and the paint doesn't match exactly right. I feel retarded for missing this. The reason I didn't have my mechanic check it out BEFORE I bought it was because the car was over an hour from where I live and it was such a deal to drive all the way there back and forth, seemed fine to me, I know, stupid trust me I kicked myself in the ass about it enough.
1.Water pump is leaking
2.Front tires are bald
3.Been in an accident
4.Rear brakes need replacing
5.Shocks/Suspension is original, will need replacing
6.Oil is dirty and was not changed
7.A few covers need replacing, shoulda been done when serviced
8.Fluids need replacing soon (tranny etc)
9.Dime sized hole in the muffler which appears to be rusting
10.Broken fog light (knew about that)
I bring it back to the dealer with the report and I said this and this and this is wrong and I have a 30 day warranty on everything mechanical fix it. He tells me he isn't going to fix anything until he has it checked out himself. I said you can inspect it all you want, but my mechanic said those things are problems and I expect you to fix it as I am still covered under the warranty. The mechanic told me if the dealer fights me on certain things on the brakes or the pump to report him because thats illegal. He's already been reported to the States Attorney General. Especially the brakes as he promised me those would be fixed and than only does the fronts. At this point I wish I had bought a damn cavalier hah it woulda cost me less and had less miles on it.
