Source? Anyway if it is how you're trying to make it seem that doesn't mean used car lots would be better about it.

Fine you're upset you ignored the seller saying they don't know and bought a house that had shitty plumbing. I'm not here to listen to you complain about that.

Yes. They're a step closer to the manufacturer who does want it done right once the recall has been issued.

Other states let you go after the owner in your situation. Even then it doesn't matter you were screwed.

That's not the solution and defeats the purpose of the recall while creating a conflict of interest. If the dealer is shady enough to sell a car with a known recall they sure aren't going to fix it correctly.

Sounds like your state has shitty laws and you dropped the ball with that inspector and accepting a maybe.

The item needs to be fixed by a dealer to the manufacturer's specs. Having Steve's car corral throw them in the trunk is not the proper fix.

That is a good point.

That varies state to state. Too bad you didn't pick up on how they were obviously hiding something. You didn't find it odd that an inspection would give yes or no answers to those items?

So where do you draw the line for what the dealer is allowed to fix and sell? Under this law what you described would be illegal.

They could require them to disclose that information or be held liable like in real estate.

So you're fine with a third party used car dealer attempting to fix recalls but you're not going to let buyers trust their own judgment. Got it.

a) they're used which are undoubtedly "broken" in other ways and b) it drives up the price of used cars. If I want to buy a camry with unsafe floor mats I would like the dealer to tell me but I still want to have that option.

Recalls are done by dealers so running the vin in their system would show it. Carfax would likely have it too.

While driving used car prices up

I hate this state so much. This is what carfax and questions are for.

I have said this on here before. The way to solve this is give the express lane to self driving cars and let people zone out for half their commute.

Sue sue sue!

Where are you getting $10/month liability? I pay $150 a month between two cars in NY and about half that when I'm in Indiana and I have clean record.

Just sayin' it could be more jalop if it were a turbo diesel with an odd number of cylinders and was brown.
