My point in telling you what the Dupont Registry ad claimed and what the original seller (not the dealer that sold you the car) told me is to point out that it is not at all clear the original seller was 100% truthful. He claimed only that the fenders were replaced--he never indicated the car was totaled even when I asked him why the insurance company would total a car for relatively minor damage. Hence, it is reasonable to believe that he told the dealer the same story. I have no idea who is at fault here, but I would not presume that the dealer is the only party at fault here.

I was only pointing out that the previous owner was up-front and listed the issue in the ad. If the previous owner was contacted by the dealer from the listing disclosing the issues, I would think this would help your case on proving the dealer's knowledge.
I would also recommend to anyone considering purchasing a vehicle a PPI and a carfax check. Due diligence is your job... caveat emptor
What price did you pay for the vehicle?![popcorn](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/popcorn.gif)

Agreed. In fact, if a CARFAX was run prior and it didn't show a salvage listing, but was proved wrong later and it should have had a salvage title, then CARFAX would be the one buying the car back from you! (They offer a buyback guarantee)

Here is an old (July) post about this exact car.

I know this car was also discussed last year, but can't find the old post(s). Did anyone find it?

its good that we have that link with his asking price it is proof for 1 of the many lies he has told me. In trying to create a paper trail defense for himself he sent me an email yesterday claiming to have told me about some accident histroy (which he clearly did not) and his proof was thats why he had the car for sale in the 80k range and sold it to me in the 80k range as opposed to closer to 100k which a no accident car would be worth. I reminded him his asking price was 95k but he denied it. Nice to see we have that link as a reminder. I could fill a book with his lies

yes I wish I did a carfax and a ppi instead I took the word of a big shot dealer that acts like a mogul. me trusting him is not a crime but taking a salvaged car and selling it without disclosure is.
