Re: purchase of a used car

It sounds like yu have a legitimate beef with whomever sold you the car, unless it was sold as is. From the post, it appears that there was a warranty with it and that would govern the relationship. If it was represented in a previous accident, then the contract could be recscinded. Regardless of what the seller told you or sold you, it does not eliminate your liability under the laon agreement with the bank.
