Used Car Dealership problems
I bought a used 2000 Ford ZX2 on 9/11/04. On 10/23/04 my roomie was driving the car had a minor fender bender going no more than 5-10mph in car. Took it in for estimates next day and all the auto body shops pretty much agree car is 90% and that is is because the car was missing the front reinforcement bar.
I tried talking to dealership about this issue with the bar. He said we sold you a good safe car and not to call them again. I filed a complaint with attorney gen ofc but they forwarded the complaint to Dept Of Lic. Now the person i'm working with there says I have them on 4 violations of WA state RCW laws and I would have to get a written statement from someone in the auto body field stating that part was missing and how criticial of a part it is. None of the auto body wanted to get involved so I had to get a auto forensics to look over the car. He was able to determine that the bar was missing for quite sometime. I would have little or no damage if that bar was on. Yes the re-bar plays a important part in the safety. Also without that bar my airbags would have never timed right - basically would have never deployed. Also noted even though I did a carfax (came back clean)that the car was involved in previous unrelated accident. Said the car was unsafe to drive now and before I purchased it. Now with DOL handling this I dont know if 4 violations is the justice I want. I mean they sold me an unsafe car. I been trying to get a lawyer here in seattle area and I had no luck.
Any idea how I could go about getting my money back  ?
