Have you personally looked at any of the damage on the car?

All of it

Well, it seems like the car bottomed out pretty hard, given the details of the damage. When that happened it probably put a lot of stress on the engine mounts, which are made of rubber, for the most part, not 100%. I'm surprised they're not trying to replace that for you. Especially at the stealership

The dealership didn't even notice it, only 1/4 shops the car has been in has said anything about it. They showed me pictures of it.

Can you just have the engine mount welded up, or is it plastic too?

Also, that doesn't sound like it's just cosmetic. Fix it.

Was told not to be concerned with it, not keeping the car, not worried about it.

Yes, that practice is called "curbstoning". Report him.

Got it, thanks. Is it as simple as throwing on $480 worth of Ebay control arms and tie rods and calling it a day?

It already has new OEM control arms, I also already put a used rack in the car, and of course it was broken.......Needs oilpan and another used rack. That's all we know of + an engine mount is cracked but I don't care about that.

Yeah pretty much the original owner flipped the car, the new second owner flipped the kid.

????? not sure what you are talking about.......

It was a lease car for its first 2 years, then someone in my town bought it and owned or for about 2 years before getting a DUII in it. Then the guy who sold it to me got it in an auction from the towing company (presumably wrecked) he never registered it into his name during his 4 months of ownership. ( I think that is a crime) he did all his shitty ass fixes and sold it to me.

For the control arms yes. I think maybe the steering rack internals are f'ed up

Oil pan might be able to be plastic welded
