Guys, I'm in a bit of a predicament. And many won't understand this question if you don't own a car. But, let's just say, hypothetically, you bought a used car a month ago, and you find each day it takes longer to start, and then while your driving today, the car shuts off while your driving 30 mph and end up hitting the guard rail. Is it the dealerships fault?

And  are they responsible for the damages?
There is no warranty on the car.

idk man- i'm not a car fanatic-

Bellad471 · Answer

In my opinion it probably has something to do with the people who owned the car before they might have done something that messed it up and couldn't get it fixed

mtzmario8612 · Answer

makes sense

Bellad471 · Answer

yea

Frosted · Answer

So, who's responsible for the damages?

Bellad471 · Answer

It's more the dealership fault bc they should have checked the car out before they sold it to you

mtzmario8612 · Answer

I would say maybe the dealership. It would not be your fault either way

Frosted · Answer

Well, this is what gets into law-yy stuff, because I called the dealership, and they had said there was no reports on that happening before, so it isn't there fault. Now they want me to pay thousands of dollars worth of damage, for something that I didn't have control over.

Bellad471 · Answer

That's so dumb it clearly is their fault

Frosted · Answer

So, should a lawyer be brought in?

Bellad471 · Answer

If i was you i would bring a lawyer in but it's your decision

Frosted · Answer

Alright, I might go that route, let me get some more opinions, I'll post what happens later.

Bellad471 · Answer

ok

mrwhskers · Answer

It's probably there fault for not disclosing something it's wrong with it or if it was owned before you it's probably that last owners fault

Frosted · Answer

Alright that's a good point, I really intrigued on what Dark is going to say.

It is most definitely the owner before who is at fault, instead of taking the responsibility of repairing damages to the car and taking care of it, as they should, the owner before sold the car.
