My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Florida
I purchased a 2009 BMW X6 from a dealer as a CPO vehicle and was advised there is a clean CarFax report on it. I have had problems with the vehicle off and on starting with an oil consumption issue within a few days after purchase I reported it to the salesperson and it was in the shop for it on at least 2 occasions I think 3 but not sure. I recently took it to a dealership in my area because my CPO expired less than a year after purchase and I do not want to put anymore money in it as repairs are costly on this car ($800 for alternator at repair shop cost for part only) so I asked for a value of it and I did not have the car because it is in the shop now so I gave them the vin and they pulled a Auto Check report thru Experian. To my surprise I was advised it is worth $12.000.00 less than I owe on it due to the Structure/Unibody damage of the vehicle that the auction reported on it in 2012 and again in 2014 6 days before it was titled to me and sold as a CPO vehicle.
I have spoken to the dealer and had the shop I have it in look for any damages and I have a shop statement stating the transmission and engine are both shifted and something called a sight plug for cradle alignment is missing which would probably be an indicator that there was body shop involvement with the car. They state the vehicle has left side undercarriage damage from an accident and they are not a body shop but these issues are apparent from the mechanic looking. I was advised to shift the motor and or transmission a pretty siginifigant impact would have to have happened. The dealer states they will veryify the damages with an independent company and will help me out of the car but will charge me depreciation of the vehicle from the time I purchased it until the date they take possession of it. I appreciate the offer to take it back once verified but I feel they should do better than that but I am not sure of the laws with this and if I sue them (I do not have money to do so would have to borrow it from someone) would I get anything better. I traded a vehicle and they added negative equity to my loan and I would not have purchased this vehicle knowing it had been in an accident and would not have the financial obligation from it.
Can someone give me helpful advise how to handle this situation as I feel the dealership buying a car from auction or trying to sell it to an acution (I am waiting for additional information from Auto Check if any is available) then selling it to me with damage that kind of damage not disclosed where I could one make an informed decision to buy and pay that kind of money and or walking away not to mention depending on the extent of the frame damage it soulc also be putting myself and family at risk. I am sorry for the long post but wanted to provide as many facts as possible. Thank you
