F*CK Momentum BMW!!!!!!!

[JCL]

You bought a five year old vehicle that was advertised online, as is, without test driving it, and sight unseen, from a place you had never dealt with before? Did you check out the dealership references, or just put your faith in their BMW sign?

Sounds like they didn't treat you very well, but I am sorry to say, you appear to have painted a target on your back.

Shouldn't there be a lemon law that applies to this?

Really? We expect BMW Dealers to be the exact same kind of shysters as the small used car lots?

I know its somewhat true, however I expect the big dealers to aspire to a higher level of quality. That's why you pay the higher prices.

If I were to buy a car at distance from a Dealer I would expect them to represent it perfectly. If they pulled these kinds of scams then they compromise that sales avenue. Clearly they don't care because you can't hurt them from far away.

... buying a car, horse, house, land, collectible gun, et al,

sight unseen by someones eyes, is tantamount to an open door.
Sorry that dlr screwed you. Just because it was a BMW dlr, or MB
dlr, or P Car dlr, doesn't mean a thing, imo. You were 'remote', they
moved a 'unit' off the lot. Caveat emptor.

Find a good local dlr, or better yet, find a good local Indie and get some things fixed that makes the sumbitch run.
Then, maybe toss it...

Do you have 'written' confirmation from Momentum that the vehicle is in 'perfect' condition?

Of course not.

I had a similar experience but ate the costs not wanting to deal with the hassle, but I think your situation is worse. Based on what I've read and since you didn't pick up the car in Texas, you might have some options of interstate fraud. If you have enough info in writing (I didn't), you can use that your advantage. I would seek advise from a lawyer.

Also, they would be able to subpoena the vehicle's service history records. If it was ever in for the sunroof, or tranny issue and they knew about it then...and was in the service records, they flat out lied to you.

There's gotta be a lawyer on here that can validate/invalidate any of my comments.

If you need a TX lawyer to represent you, I would hit the bimmerfest fourms and try and find a bmw driver that would help you out.

I'm sure they picked it up from an auction and realized it was a piece of junk and tried to unload it as easy as they could.

Yea, I'll probably need to find a TX lawyer to educate me on TX laws and what my options might be. What a sh*tty situation!

[fraserp]

I must admit i could have gotten cought in this situation too because i would expect better from a high end dealership. my eyes are now open and will definately keep away from MOMENTUM BMW. thanks for the heads up.

It's simple. Buyer beware.

Really? Buyer Beware at Joes Car Shack, but an authorize BMW dealership??? At the very least you'd expect honest answers. This was a straight lube job.
