Purchased vehicle from used car lot on 5/14/2004. had suspicion that vehicle had been wrecked and repaired. they assured me that they do not sell vehicles like that and it was never in an accident. i received a statement from an auto body shop stating that the vehicle has been wrecked and repaired and still has suspension damage. the dealership i purchased the vehicle from thinks i am lying and trying to get out of a contract. i have taken pictures of the vehicle and its damages. i have also obtained a car fax report stating that there was an accident reported in washington state with a police report # and a accident report #. since the vehicle was purchased, it drove really squirmy, pulled to both sides of the vehicle and had a problem when it was test drove. they thought it was brakes and it actually was a problem with the gears. the brakes were ok, they were not the best and did not stop the vehicle that well. the vents in the vehicle were broken out, which i fixed the best i could, the shift box inside the vehicle had the protective cover missing and the shifter indicator that lets you know what gear you are in did not move at all.*ak
