I'm in a pickle! I bought a car on the 5th of this month through a Ford dealership. I put 1,000.00 down and

Question:
and the salesman, who happens to be my boyfriend's cousin, told me he would not cash it till the money was in the bank. My car had just broke so I HAD to get another car and was waiting on a check to go through at the bank. The check I wrote to him will be okay to cash tomorrow, BUT. 2 Days after I took the car off the lot, I noticed the power steering was messed up and talked to the salesman. He had told me when I bought the car that the warranty covered EVERYTHING! Now, my car has been in their shop for a few days, not fixed, and I have a rental. I am now being told I am going to be charged for it getting fixed. I was thinking of putting a stop on the check I wrote before he cashes it, and leave the effin car there. I know I'm in a contract, this is the first car I've bought and I don't know what to do. Is there a return policy on most cars? lol I know it's dumb.. but I need advice!

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS get it in writing. If they just told you by mouth that everything was covered, then (no offense) but you pretty much asked for it... If they told you that in writing however, you can take them to court over it or whatever needs to be done.. Read over your contract, see what it says and what it doesn't say, and use it against them..

If you bought the car "as is" you're responsible for anything that breaks as soon as you drive off the lot.

Is Drivetime auto sales a scam?

Find out what warranty you were given, if any. Most places give a 30 day warranty. They have to honor their warranties. If they don't, report them to the Better Business Bureau. And, put a stop payment ASAP before they cash the check. You need to play hardball with them.

Can anybody help me?

If your in a contract, there is no point in stopping the check. They will simply send you a bill for the entire cost of the car. And that will sit on your credit for 7 years if you don't pay. You should know that NO warranty covers everything, especially the power steering, that is something that has problems after wear and tear. However, since you had JUST purchased the car, you can threaten to report a LEMON to the BBB (better business) and let the dealer know that unless they replace the vehicle or cover the fix-it costs you will be suing them under the Lemon Law. Do your research you have a right to buy a car that is up to standard. But don't stop payment, that is just asking for problems.

Do you think i could sell my classic f1 mags that date back to 1988 if so are they of any value?

Miss Ally:

Woud you buy an extended warranty on a new vehicle?


Fist thing off the bat is read your contract, you should have a 72 hour return policy. if that don't help invoke the LEMON LAW on the car dealers butt and see what they have to say about that.
If they still fight you go to the better business bureau. Also I would put a Hold on that check that should get their attention.
hope this helps

Where can I find an old car for sale?

like some one said above stop payment on the check NOW and tell the mechanic to bill the dealership.We have laws against such things here in Canada,It would not stand up in court in the states either.You put money down on a warranted car and did not finalize the deal so the dealer ship is responsible for all maintenance costs.I had forgotten about this happening to me 20 years ago..until now...thanks..lol

Can i sell my vehicle without a title?

if it is still under the factory warranty of 3/36k it should be covered. Unless it was due to neglect. If it is not under the factory 3/36k It wont be covered because the 75000 mile Limited warranty only covers 29 items of the power train! Power steering is not part of the power train. The finance manager should have given you the option to upgrade to the ESP PREMIUM CARE WARRANTY! Which only costs $475.00 more. <that is dealer cost! It would be up to you to upgrade to that warranty. If you did then it WILL be covered! If you did not purchase the upgraded warranty then I would say you are S.O.L.

I need serious help on a car rental!!?


That deal is already funded through Ford being that you bought the car 16 days ago! It would be pointless to stop payment on the check. Because it has been over 2 weeks. If you do stop payment on the check, the dealer can legally send you to a collection agency for the $1000. check!

I know this because, I am a finance manager for a Ford dealer!
