Whitehall Auto Sales Ripoff sold wife a car that belongs in the junkyard illegally passed its inspection Whitehall Pennsylvania

First check with the DMV to see if they have a safety division you can file a Complaint with , you should be able to ask for monetary damages ( with proofs of actual damages ) , if they find violations of the Laws ( specifically inspection issues .

Your other option is small claims Court ( again with estimates of repairs on actually safety inspection issues ) , and damages to those issues .

I did both , waived going for monetary with DMV ( but they fined all involved ). I actually put them out of business . I then went to small claims for monetary damages .

Good Luck .

I feel for you. on november 1st I too bought a truck from these people an it fell apart as soon as I got off the lot. They wanted nothing to do with me when I brought it back ten minutes later. They said to me YOU SIGNED THE CONTRACT ITS YOUR PROBLEM NOW!!!!!!

It appears from your complaint that your wife purchased this vehicle from one of those "corner-lots", i.e. an auto dealer that is not a true-dealership, but rather one that sells older-model vehicles of various makes and models. A dead give-a-way of this type of place is the "in-house financing".

My word of advise to you and others: stay away from these type of places. The average age of a vehicle at these places is 6 years old. The average age at a regular dealership is less than 1 year. What does this mean? It means those cars at those corner lots are there for a reason, they are typically vehicles that are wholesaled out, auctioned off because a regular dealership wouldn't sell it due to (typically) too many problems found with the car either during it's trade-in process or after.

Going back to the in-house financing. Never do this. It's a waste of your time. The interest will be sky-high and they typically do not report to the credit bureaus, so you're not "helping" your credit by paying on time anyway.

You have very little recourse here.

Jon:

Whenever you buy a used car, have it checked out in advance by a mechanic YOU provide. If the dealership won't let you do this, walk out!

If you or your mechanic find problems and you still want the car, you tell them you will buy the car if and only if the problems are corrected!
