Dealership brought it back in, after I screamed at them on phone about selling me a lemon. (IL does NOT have lemon law.)
Now the dealership can not fix the car, been a week and they claim they will ahve to change out the engine on the car, and are offering us a different car. 4k more offering it to us for 2k more.
What is my play? Obv I can tell them I dont want to add more to a loan, I got that car for that price for a reason... the car should be covered under warranty, so I should be able to tell them to suck it up and fix it. But I dont know if I want a car having all these problems, could be a sign of how it was driven prior to me owning it.
Ideas? Demand money back and go elsewhere maybe? Use this situation to get a more expensive car for way cheaper perhaps?
I'd say just ship the 2k more and get the other car. Or yeah totally bitch it up mass, threaten to call Chris Hansen, and get your money back.
Already in the zone where your buying the gf a car? Damn, when are you gonna propose?

I definitely would not keep the current car under any circumstances. There's close to 0 chance it will ever be problem free in the future imo.
Great, now you and La Ultima have me as your avatars!!!
