Some dealers are scum and will lie about things to try to make a quick buck. If she really likes the car and doesn’t care if it’s been hit she needs to at least renegotiate the price or bring it back. Tell here to bring a lawyer if they don’t take the car back. That usually will get things rolling because they know you mean business.

Look....go and fill the gas tank up. Get a spare key made. Park the car at a shopping center with the keys in it. Wait one day after it's gone. Then call the police :lol:

She contacted her lawyer who reviewed all her documents, including the Carfax. Lawyer contacted the dealer and after a couple of calls back and forth the dealer had her return the vehicle and they gave her a complete refund. Case closed.

She is waiting for her tag and her insurance co. has told her that a claim was filed on the car in 06 for around $45,000. She contacted that insurance co. and they couldn't release any details due to "privacy isuues" (B.S.) so she's not sure what to do. She doesn't want to contact Carfax to check it out yet because she thinks that it wouldn't be in their interest to find anything other than a clear report. How can she get info on this claim from 06 to find out what's going on. Thanks for any help.

lemme guess... Tom Bush BMW?
Tell her to go get a Porsche from Brumos - problem sorted.
