Just think of what would happen if the same thing happened the other way. The dealer had the transmission guys look at it, you bought it but it had a problem.
In that case, unless there was some foul play on the part of the dealer, then it is your problem. I can't think of any used car dealer that would take the car back. This is bad luck for them, and maybe the repair shop. If I were you I might look for another repair shop :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 1:11 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: problem with car trade in > > So, two weeks ago, my car died while my wife was driving.
