This just makes me mad! The dealers can pull a Carfax report and I think they took advantage of you not knowing about this. I hope noone on the site takes offense to this but in my personal experience I have yet to find one honest enough to tell the truth and not be concerned with the almighty "sale". I have found Carfax to be my best friend when searching for a car and have avoided a number of bad cars. The dealership always looks surprised when I inform them that the car has a problem. That part is kind of fun for me. :p

Sorry for you problem with the dealership and I hope you can get something done about it.
