A while back, I was in a wreck, and my car was totalled. I got the money from my car, and purchased a new car from my ex-bf's father. I knew him pretty well, and I had done alot of work for him, and helped him do alot of stuff on many occasions. I even helped them move out of their home.
Well he had a 1992 Volvo 940 Turbo for sale, and I needed a car. I was told by my bf, and his father, that it was a good car. I trust them both. I have know them for years.
I was told it had absolutely no leaks, what so ever. No leaks. No oil leaks, coolant leaks, tranmission leaks. Nothing.
I trusted him and purchased the car. A few months later, here I am. Bad oil leak. The car leaks about a quart a month, and it's getting worse (Maybe rear main seal). But it only holds 4 quarts, not 5.
Coolant leaking like there is no tomorrow. Speedometer cluster dead. Sunroof motor dead. Exhaust leak. IAC dead. Something that is causing the car to vibrate roughly when driving??. Massive amount of alarm problems. And recently, the car won't even start anymore without having to jump it. Something is draining the battery. Every morning I have to jump it. And sometimes when I leave work.
It's becoming a big problem.
So I asked my ex-bf, who is my best friend, to ask his dad to buy the car back from me, for less than what I paid.
I feel I was lied to and cheated. I know I bought it, and it's no longer his problem...I just cannot afford to fix the car, and cannot afford a new car either.
I would expect this from a used car salesman, but not from someone I knew, someone I have sat down with to dinner more times than I can count.
Do you think what I am asking is unreasonable?
Cliff Notes:
1. Bought car from friend's dad.
2. I trusted his word
3. Car really sucks
4. Feel cheated and lied to
5. Want to ask friend to ask dad buy back car so I can find one that doesn't suck so much
