As is, no warranty ... what does it mean?
5 day, 10 day, 30 day return policy ... what does it mean?
This means as soon as you put your name on the line any pre-existing damage hidden by the buyer is an expense they are stuck with.
If the used car salesman can pass hidden damage on to a buyer, they can stick it to them
.If the damage is discovered by that buyer, no problem
, another sucker will come along and will not notice the costly damage.WHY ARE CARS SOLD AT AUCTION?
When I first looked for one particular car it had high mileage. I told the salesman it was too much. I was then told if they did not sell it on the lot, they would take it to auction for sale.
After getting home and looking at a 'carfax' report, I noticed my car also went through an auction.
Before it was sold at auction a dealer tried to sell it from their lot. Something was wrong with the car or the price was outrageous.
Auctions are not noted for selling cars at a high price. Buyers go to auctions to get things at a cheap price.... That would mean my car was sent to auction because it had damage.
When I was a kid, I remember stories about used car dealers buying junkers at auctions and putting chicken wire in the body to hold it together, putting sawdust in the transmission ... After the damaged cars got past the detection of the suckers, the victims were stuck with the cost.
The used car dealers could laugh with glee from the chickens they plucked.
The damage that was not visible when I bought my car, is very similar to the tricks of the crook car dealers of the past.
Dealer excuse... OH, but
we did not know about that damage when we sold you the car?How many smiling dealers get on TV talking about their reputation, when in fact they know they are dishonest.. cheats... do you know any of them?
If you know any one retired from a car dealer repair department, see if they have any good stories to tell.
It would be great to expose some lying car dealer (who didn't know about the damage), when the damage was covered up in their own shops.
The Micky Mouse repairs only need to be out of site, until the customer gets it home for a short period of time.=============================
Most customers . They do not know what to look for when buying a car.
Car buyers for car dealers are professionals. They know what to look for. That is what they do for a living. They can not play the stupid game.
Used car dealers can not use ignorance as an excuse for missing damage in a car they purchase.Why would any buyer bother to buy a car from a dealer? Unlike dealing with an individual, a dealer has a business to take care of and would have a car inspected before they bought it. The more faults the dealer can find in a car, the lower the price they can offer the owner.
If a dealer sell a car with damage, their only excuse is
negligence to inspect the car or because they knew about the damage and concealed it from the buyer.No reputable car dealer would neglect to inspect a car before they bought it. No buyer who gave a damn about their customers getting the shaft would neglect to inspect a car before buying it for their dealership.
The only reason for a dealership to sell a car with concealed damage to a buyer is because the dealer buyer bought a car with full knowledge of the damage knowing they could sell it to a sucker who would not discover the damage until AFTER they left the lot
.Some times the deception could be on the part of the salesman with out the knowledge of the dealer... BUT
after the dealer is made aware of concealed damages and did make it right, that dealership becomes an accessory to deceptive car sales. It is not just the salesman it is the car dealership its self that is dishonest.As customers we do not go to a car dealer to buy damaged cars, we go there to buy USED cars. If we intended to buy damaged cars, we would buy from a junk yard.
