Berman's Automotive RIPOFF, DISHONEST, EVERY SINGLE CAR THEY HAVE ON THEIR LOT IS A LEMON, INCLUDING THE ONE I PURCHASED!! Baltimore Maryland

No I was not aware of the carfax report when I bought the car, If I had known about the terrible history of the car I would have not bought it......be serious

I checked the internet for MD's Lemon Law. It only applies to new vehicles. I was under the wrong impression. A new car you are assuming no problems- basically any problem is manufacturer defect. A used vehicle it could be lack of maintenance, accidents, anything. You would have been better off buying a new Hyundai for an extra $2k and having a 10 year warranty and legal recourse! Sorry again. Below is the link for the Lemon Law. Apparently buying a used vehicle is basically "caveat emptor"- LET THE BUYER BEWARE!

"Maryland's Lemon Law applies to new or leased motor vehicles (including cars, light trucks and motorcycles), registered in Maryland, that are less than 15 months old and have been driven less than 15,000 miles. The law provides for consumers whose cars meet certain criteria to receive a refund or a replacement vehicle if repair attempts have failed to correct a problem, and the problem substantially impairs the use and market value of the vehicle."

Patricia,

You need to do some research on Maryland's Lemon Law. MD has a "Lemon Law" in regards to vehicles that says something about a newly purchased vehicle and money spent on repairs. I'm sorry I don't know more about it, but the law is there if you can get more info.

If alot of stuff happened a week after you got the car, was there no warranty? Even the sleaziest dealers in MD generally have a small warranty- even if it's 3 weeks or 3,000 miles.

As far as the tires bring bald a week later- did you check them when you bought the car? Tires don't wear out in a week. You have to be very vigilant buying a used car. I recommend arranging a test drive where you can borrow the car and have it inspected by a mechanic not associated with that dealer.

I assume you possibly did a carfax report after you bought the car. Sounds to me like the car may have been in a major front end accident or something and had repairs done. Possibly why paint on the spoiler failing. Shoddy repair work. Dealer may have bought a "totaled" car and done cosmetic and minor repairs...?

Again, seriously check into MD's lemon law! You may be able to nail the guy!

Why did you buy a car with a bad carfax report?

I am so fed up with the lemon I bought that I tried to trade in the car for one that works but I am having a hard time because of the carfax history report on my vehicle.

I asked Irv Moore at Berman's Automotive about the history on my car and he tried to change the subject to avoid answering my question. Every employee from the janitors to the president at that CHOP SHOP are crooks and will be judged before the almighty on judgement day.
