I actually contacted them twice about 2 S2k's I had seen online. Both times, they said those were sold. I noticed the same ads kept going up. I didnt bother calling back. 100% bait and switch shadiness guaranteed.

 

Should of posted here before flying out, they have been doing that for quite some time. Read the yelp rating it's terrible.

Lemon law, you should be able to get ever penny back.

 

How doess the lemmon law work in Cali? The car broke down after the 30 days.

 

I thought the Lemon Laws were for new cars; you had to have the same issue repaired (or attempted repair) a minimum number of times before the Lemon Law kicked in. I also thought it had to be under a certain age and mileage. Hopefully I’m wrong.

From what I always thought, used car sales were as-is unless you have a guarantee or warranty in writing.

 

He was just saying that it would give you a better idea of how the car is. The more pictures and info you have, the better you can judge the condition. I drove 10 hours once to take a look at a car after I had been sent a lot of pictures. Car looked real good, but when I got there, it wasn't what I was expecting. The seller had also neglected to tell me several things about it...such as the A/C not working, door locks and a few other things. Needless to say, me and my friend drove 20 hours that day for nothing. I got home to a very angry PM from the seller after. I think a lot of people are hoping that since you spent all this time and money to go look at a car, you'll buy it even with some defects. After you saw it in person and thought that it wasn't very clean, you should have walked away.

Honestly, I don't think suing them will get you very far. Most used cars are sold as-is, which is why you go and take a look at it, test drive it, etc. Unless it was sold with some sort of warranty or as a certified pre-owned vehicle, more often then not you're out of luck. It's going to be pretty hard to prove that the dealer set up the car to fail 30 days down the road. It's the same thing if you sold a car and 30 days later, the buyer called you back telling you to pay for their failed engine and transmission. It isn't your car anymore, you don't know what it's been through since it left your hands, why should you be the one paying for it? It's also a car, and they break if not well maintained. I'm not saying the dealer is right since they obviously have been shady for a long time, but it'll be tough to prove that they deliberately set you up to fail.

If you still have a copy of your contract, double check what it says. It'll probably state something about warranty and the car breaking down.

 

All this shady business gets me worried, but hey when you go buy an s2k do a compression test. and if possible take it to a honda dealership for a check up to make sure everything is alright that's your best bet honestly. I think i trust the private sellers more than i do dealerships with these cars, which is sad.

 

It's preferred on new cars, but somehow my friend got away with it when he bought a used vehicle recently from a third party.

 

I know suing them won't get me anything, but I want't to waste their time and money trying to defend it. Also, once I sue them, everything I list on the court papers will be on public record weather i win or lose. I want to put these a$$holes out of business! Help, if you guys can.

 

Becauese the stock seats in the s2000 will sell for close to $1,000 depending on the condition. OEM ap2 wheels will sell for 500-750 without tires and you can find ap1 wheels with tires for around $200 without even trying. They are obviously just sqeezng every penny out of these cars and hoping the new buyer wont notice.

 

Title is clean and I know it doesn't mean anything, but it also has a clean car fax.
