As for the GPS if she bought the car in full and is not making payments on the car. Yes it is illegal. But buy here pay here places are aloud to put it on the car as long as their person is making payments on it incase they decide to take the car and not make any payments on it.

 

^^^ WTF is this shit!?

 

The only thing you can get them on is the motor mounts, sorry about your luck and yes all buy here pay here gps there cars.

 

update

I got a copy of the form that said the motor mounts were gonna be replaced. As soon as he put the copy in my hand i asked him why the mounts were not replaced. He got pissed saying they were so i went to show him. Had my girl start the car and give it a little gas and showed him wear it was tearing. He brought the mechanic over and the mechanic agreed with me and told the salesman that he knew the others were bad but was only given one mount to install. So now all mounts are being redone because i told them if its not done correctly they will be replacing a transmission as well. As for all the codes once the locator was pulled it only threw 3 codes for emission leaks and cylinder misfire and my friend at good year said misfire is probably from a cheap ignition coil.

 

I don't see how the dealer wouldn't be liable for the CEL. Isn't there some sort of safety standard that their cars have to meet before they can sell it? IE: when you turn the key to the "ON" position without starting the car, all the lights on the dashboard should light up to test them. I would figure this is a big safety issue if the ABS/Airbag/CEL/TCS lights don't come up.

Sucks about your luck with the shitty car. You should know better next time about running a Carfax and maybe taking it to a 3rd party mechanic next time.

 

That's what I was getting at. The law is pretty strict on check engine lights also as it's mostly emissions. If you can secretlly get people to sign "This car is a peice of shit and the airbag light/cel bulbs may have been taken out and we didn't check to make sure that they're not there, and it will literally take us 10 seconds to do, but we like to fuck you", then the law wouldn't be there in the first place.

This thread is the reason why I'd never buy a car from a peice of shit salesman at a peice of shit lot.

I did however go to a couple of small struggling pos places and powershift the fuck out of their manual cars with no intesnion of buying them last week though. Good times
