So my mom and step dad have been going to a dealership (that gets cars from auction and sells them) for their cars for years, step dad bought several BMWs, and trucks, mom bought a 4runner and brought them 10+ customers. I had no luck with my e30s, always fucking up so I wanted a reliable car for my fiance and i to get around in with no worries (m50 in my e30 blew up when me and her got into it to leave one day, sounded like a .22 bullet went off and smoke everywhere. scared her, so thats why i went reliability over style). I bought a 2006 scion tc from them late august of 2011. A buddy, fiance and I went to a dealership yesterday and test drove a brand new 2011 mistubishi lancer ralli art (left over stock) with 180 miles on it from test drives. With the intent of trading my scion and her jeep, we went in and did paper work. they looked at my car, test drove it and ran auto check. auto check says there are 2 accidents on record, 1 showed up on the carfax I ran on it a few months after i bought it which was just a side swipe on the right front, no big deal. The second accident was not on carfax but was on auto check. States in BOLD letters "AUTO AUCTION ANNOUNCED UNI-BODY DAMAGE", I was never told it had damage like that when car was purchased. Legally they don't even have to tell me that there was possible frame damage because they are not a new car dealer. So I am stuck in a huge fucking pickle. I have been paying 221 dollars a month since august for this car. Let me give a run down of pricing.
2006 scion tc - $8,700
3 year warranty that covers EVERYTHING - $1,800
Total = $10,500 + taxes, plates all that good shit and interest was about $11,400.
I owe about $10,000 dollars on everything. My ordeal is the guy is willing to buy back my car for $7,000 dollars, which is obviously $1,700 less than what I paid for it. My car has ZERO issues, everything works as it should, no mechanical issues besides a bad strut mount in the rear. Cosmetically there are a few tiny dings and faint scratches. It doesn't look bad at all. There is a 2005 scion tc on their lot with 10,000 more miles, 1 touch windows don't work, you have to hold the button til they go all the way down, rear end has a crazy rattle, rear bumper was in an accident and folded a little where there is a 7 inch long pinch, another 4 inch and a littler one. front valance/bumper has a foot long crack/broken, car drains the battery, lime green mirrors, interior trim painted lime green, basically this car is destroyed for $8,600 dollars. I guarantee he is going to list my car for $9,000 or more, and he doesn't feel responsible for the car but yet willing to pay $7,000. I must keep peace with him because my mom is an insurance agent and he will bring her customers (so she can get commission). I don't know how to get him to raise his price, and so confused on what the fuck to do. I just want out of this car because now I feel unsafe in it, as well as my fiance. I'm going off on a tangent and probably not making sense, so if you're confused, just ask a question and I will answer it, I could really use the help on what to do with this situation.
Thanks
