We purchased a 5-year old car from a large local dealership. The dealership told me the car had gone through a complete inspection as they were required to meet certain standards e.g. if the brakes were bad they had to replace them (which they had, along with the rotors). The dealership also told me the car had not been in an accident and it had a clean CarFax report.
Regardless, I brought the car into Countryside Repair for a Pre-Buy inspection. They found that the right wiper didn't even rest on the windshield. In addition, they found: the front left parking light was hanging by 1 clip (missing 2); the front left wheel-well was missing; there was overspray on the underside of the front bumper and along the front side panel; the back left tire was cupping (wearing abnormally as compared to the other tires); the drive door was slightly out of alignment. This all lead them to suspect the car had been in some kind of accident.
With this information I was able to return to the dealership (the car came with a 5-day return policy) and we are working out the details to rectify this situation.
