Thank you for posting that up Bro. You are in good shape. It still won't be easy, but stick with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

only thing that I may have a problem with is that the truck had a clean title when I bought it...it had a history of a salvage title but it was somehow cleaned and I got a clean title when I bought it...which is the only reason I did buy it. Now according to NJ law...any time a vehicle is salvaged it has that brand for ever...even if the title gets cleaned the salvage brand is still in the history and still needs to be disclosed...hopefully the DE law means the same thing.

 

Good luck with the trial!!! One thing thought, will the dealer give you a refund forthe original price you bought it for or for the depreciated valued.

 

Don't consider this legal advice, but justby looking at thatstatute that you posted, itseems to imply that it doesn't matter if the title is "cleaned." It just says if the vehicle "has been branded..." Doesn't say that it still has to carry that designation, as long as it was at one time branded "salvaged." The statute tells you that you can rescind the contract at any time, so that's probably would you should try to do - send a demand for the return of all the money you paid for the truck (including "fees" like registering it and all that) in exchange for you giving back the truck. That's what the statute gives you the right to do, and that's probably what you need to do first before going through the state's administrative remedies... It's like with the NJ Lemon Law where you have to give the manufacturer notice and one last shot to fix the car before bringing a formal action against them. Have you gotten any response from the dealer on anything yet?

 

well the SOB dealer now hangs up when I call him...he didn't like my lawer contacting him...lol. I am sick of the whole ordeal and on a last chance shot I went to a local car dealer that advertises "$4000 more for your car than it's worth" He gave me enough on my trade that I am only like $1400 or so upside down. I can live with that. Only bad thing is that I have to settle on a used car in a certain price and year range so that they can add the $1400 to the price and still make it financable(is that even a word?..lol) to the bank. We are deciding between two cars now, a 2007 Grand prix or a 2004 Lincoln LS....I'll post pics tomorrow when we get home with one of them.

Thanks for all the help guys!!

 

Well, it didn't end up PERFECT, but at least it's OVER!!!

Good luck with the new vehicle!!!

 

I wouldn't have letten them get away like that. That dealer should pay the price... you know they would hunt you down like a dog if the tables were turned.

 

true, but financially speaking this was the most painless way out. I'm not about spending thousands of dollars just to make the guy pay.....I have kids that I can use that money on. Even if I don't pay for a lawyer and take him to court myself I would have to pay for gas/tolls/expenses to o from NJ to Delaware once to file, then at least once for the court case....just wouldn't be worth it IMO.

 

And that's exactly what's wrong with the legal system in this country. Any slightly savy slimeball knows he can generally get away with screwing people out of a little money since it costsmore much to chase someone, legally, than it's worth on something like this.

But, congrats on choosing the painless (or, at least, less painful) route and best of luck with the new ride and the new baby. You definitely are right about the money and time being better spent on the kids than on chasing that idiot in Delaware.

By the way, as for the choice of cars, my mom had an LS and it was a really great ride, but it sucked in the Jersey winters. Not sure if that matters, but I figured I'd mention it.

 

Yeah unfortunatley this is what really sucks about these shady dealers, the costs to hunt them down outweighs the cost that you are seeking to recover.
