Joe Cooper Ford Sold Wreck Damaged Truck ripoff Midwest City Oklahoma

You missed the damage, Your Mechanic missed the damage before you bought it, and the carfax was clean. Isn't it just possible the dealership did not know about it too?

Or is more realistic to believe they are the ONLY ones that knew and were out to get you?

There was damage no one knew about and when they found out they took it back.

You say they lied, what about Carfax and your own mechanic? Did they lie too?

I know there is no lemon law in Oklahoma for used vehicles. However as-is is not a defense to fraud. The dealership blatently lied about the condition of the vehicle. I had a mechanic inspect it prior to purchase and he told me it was sound (he neglected however to look at the frame). Regardless, I took the truck back to the dealership had them look at the damage they said was not there. They wound up saying "oops" and taking the truck back. They lied, they knew it, and under Oklahoma law were liable for their actions. And CarFax was clean on this vehicle (not always accurate)

A cracked frame can be repaired, and are quite common on one-ton trucks anyways, depending on how they are used. You don't say where the frame is cracked, but it can be corrected by a competent person.

Some states have an implied warranty law. This means that even when an item is sold with "NO WARRANTY," it has to be in condition suitable for the purpose it was sold. In the case of a car or truck, it has to be safe and legal to drive on public roads. If the cracked frame presents a safety hazard, you may have some recourse under the implied warranty.

There is no lemon law on used cars. Filing a complaint with the DMV is useless. It's the dealership's word against yours. Nothing much you can do... you bought a 6 year old vehicle...

Now, if you complained to the dealer about the wobbling bumper when you bought it, and they put it in writing that they would fix it... then you have a case.

take your claim to the department of motor vechiles. or department pr public safty, they have a lemon law in Oklahoma as you know. they will invesgate it. if they knew it was bad they can get in a lot of toruble.

Next time, get a CARFAX report. It will give you a detailed history of the vehicle you are going to buy. Also, have a mechanic check it out BEFORE you buy. Doing it afterwards is too late.
