funny story

[SRT4codySRT4]

Ok so today I went car shopping. I'm trading in the caliber for a srt. A local dealer has one. 04 silver, 30k miles and I thought was a nice looking car. Boy was I wrong. They told me the thing had a clear title, and it did. But I paint cars on the side and this thing had been wrecked. The front bumper cover was sitting a half inch from the headlight and the fenders were some sort of non mopar stuff and the undwerside of the hood looked beat up. I will say this tho..whoever blended the paint did very well. But back to my story. So the salesman comes out there I talk to him and ask him if he knew that the car was wrecked. He says no. Well I point all of this out to him and he gets the nerve to ask me to leave. I wasn't being an ass or anything it was just something I felt needed to be said. Its. Not like it was some small dealer it was a large dealer with good shops. Idk how it passed inspection. Needless to say I got a good laugh out of it. Ill post up the link to the car when I get home tonight. I'm on my blackberry right now. Thanks guys.

go back, get the VIN and post it here. good to document these kinds of things.
also if they have an online ad for it post that up too.

They knew it was wrecked, look no pass side pics, and in the one front/drivers shot in the ad you can see the bumper is pushed in on the pass side headlight.

Need to post up on some local forums about that shitty dealership. They are supposed to disclose, maybe not in ID...but here in KS they must disclose in writing the damage and repairs.

Hate fucktard dealers.

Pretend you're checking out the car and what to buy it, sneak a some copies of the cars damage report into the glovebox and center console. Then leave

[SRT4codySRT4]

if some one can post up the full carfax history report ill take it to the dealer tomorrow and talk to them.

Thats pretty shady.. most dealerships anymore will run a carfax on any car they deal with.

Considering that you say it was a "larger" dealer.. I am rather disconcerted.

The price does seem a "tiny" bit on the low side.. for what I have seen in Indiana, which leads me to believe they know about the damage.

Usually, I see Srt's like this in the 17-18 range. (clean title)

But, you also have to take into account that they are looking for the quick sell. Kid-parents with more money than sense..

I also believe, these things should come with Insurance warnings.. lol

Forget the gas hog tax,.. hit me one time for insurance, then leave me alone!!!

You know, a "predisposed risk" tax.. lol something like that..
