Re: Going to court
Here's my experience, $.02.
I bought my first 2wd Blazer from a guy (dealership) in Oklahoma. When talking to him on the phone I stressed to him that I wasn't interested in the truck if it had ANY rust. It was the first thing I asked him. I reiterated it to him at least three times in our first phone call. Over the course of a week and 5 phone calls he swore to me it had no rust at all and that infact he had put it up on a lift to look underneath just to make sure becuase he wanted me to be happy. Every phone call I asked about and said I wasn't interested if it had ANY rust. I even sent them an email so they could send me some pictures and asked them about the truck including "I was not interested in the truck if it had any rust". When it was delivered to me the first thing I noticed was the holes in the rocker panel on one side and the ultr-crappy bondo job over the holes on the other side. I didn't even have to lower the back window to see the holes through the carpet and floors in the back. This doesn't even begin to touch on: - "it has a 700 tranny" - it ia a t350 - has cruise - the only part there was the switch on the blinker stalk - AC blows ice cold - not even close - drives like a dream with a rebuilt engine - replaced the engine after less than 3000 miles, the belts going to the compressor jumped off the first time I drove it - the bolts were only finger tight, etc. Theres more but it depresses me to think about it. After talking to him and him "swearling he didn't see any rust" on the vehicle I contacted a lawyer here, and there. They both told we that essentially it was bought and sold "as-is" and that was the bottom line?
