Bought used car from dealership that agreed to fix the brakes when I purchased it. Took it back to dealership for repairs 2 days later where it sat for a week. No repairs. When I picked vehicle up, the person that was supposed to work on it said they weren't a real mechanic and I'd need to take it to a real mechanic. Took it to 2 different reputable mechanics who said the entire under carriage was rusted out, the wires in the door jamb were cut, the muffler was bad and the ignition switch was jammed and would need replacing. By now the check engine light and 4x4 light had come on. Both mechanics said the car was beyond repair and the dealer knew it before selling it to us. Paid $2100 cash for car. Dealership gave us 15 month old emissions inspection where vehicle passed when sold to them, but no current one. They didn't collect tax on the purchase either and have not filed the proper paperwork with the DMV for me to get the vehicle registered and tagged. I've called the dealership twice trying to get my money back. They said the vehicle was sold as is. They agreed to fix the brakes, so I should bring it back up to them to have brake pads replaced or they would give me $70 to take it somewhere else and have the brake pads replaced. They also said it was an honest mistake (right) that they gave me the old emissions inspection report and to bring the vehicle back and they would get the right one. None of my dealings with this used car dealership have been honest to this point so I don't believe they would be with the emissions either. I don't know what to do now. The car was sold with the agreement that the dealership would fix the brakes, but replacing the brake pads on this vehicle would be the equivalent of putting a band aide on an amputation. I want my money back and them to take the piece of crap back they sold me. What are my options?
