So sorry to hear about this .
This is the exact reason why I opened up a dealership on the side, to help people and enthusiast not get scammed like this. I have seen this so many times, false advertising. At the very least, you should have know prior to purchasing. Unfortunately, it's only a painful process from here on, and they know that most people are just going to give up because It will cost more to sue them. Your best option would have been to not pick the car up when it arrived. Once it is unloaded and you sign the BOL, it's a nightmare. Good luck and I hope you get this resolved. |

When you signed the BOL, did you make any notes to it on the condition you received it?

Sorry this happened to you and man this just really pisses me off. Everything I am reading leads me to believe the seller is just plain bad.
Saying he sees 50 cars a day is a BS statement and reinforces to me what a bad person/business man he is. Check into what consumer protection laws your state has or the seller state if that’s applicable. Depending on the state sometimes it’s the DMV, sometimes it’s the Attorney General office or another governance. If this guy does not step up and take some responsibility go after him with everything you can and don’t let him off the hook. I have not seen it mentioned but I am willing to bet this is not a franchised Dealer but an independent used car operation. Good luck to you. I know you said you liked the guy and you’re supposed to, generally speaking we buy from people we like be it cars or just about anything. Shipper recorded the existing damage accurately it appears, so the damage was there when it left,the guy is screwing you. I have bought and sold enough vehicles remotely and have a lot of experience with it. This stinks. If this is not resolved quickly, please ensure you let us know who it is. |

I did, however the delivery driver said that the car was like “this” when they got it. When I got into the car for the first time I noticed the miles were 200-400 more. When I asked the dealer he said that trips from the shop back and forth were the reason they were up.

Just curious, what is your desired outcome here?
You can't return the car. The stealership won't refund or discount you any money since it's already been paid and car delivered. They claim the work was done. They will count on the fact that you won't bring them to court since it will be hard to prove breach of contract plus lawyer fees on your part negates any gains. I hope for the best for you but in this case not seeing any bright outcomes. |

does it look like the dealership actually did the paint and correction job that you paid for? (if not, you should talk to a PA lawyer for breach of contract against dealership)
how much will it cost to fix everything? i don't know the limits for PA but in California, small claims court can handle up to $10k no attorney fee to worry about of course you'll have to fly out to PA to handle it ... so it may cost you more for your time and travel than what you might get back

Based on what I see from the BOL the dealership did not paint/paint correct the car.
How can a freshly painted bumper have (that many) rock chips? Maybe 1-2 small nicks from the drive back if it were 200+ miles, but c'mon dont fool yourself. Post a current pic of the bumper. To say that you like the guy and believe they painted the car is beyond naive given it's current condition. You were a cross country, sight unseen buyer. Easy to take advantage. Dealers get their rep for a reason. For every good one there are 20 bad ones. At this point the shipping company is off the hook. They appear to have delivered the car in the condition they received it in. Don't bother wasting your time here. Ask the dealer for the receipts for the paint work. I'm willing to bet there isn't any. **All the above has been derived from the information in the thread thus far and without seeing current photos** |

Live and learn, good paint correction runs $500-$1,000 on a car this size. Take it over to Haury's in Lake City over in Seattle and get the problem resolved. Jeff the owner is a member of the BMW CCA and he will get you taken care of.
The good thing is the mirror pieces can be replaced as the black plastic is around $40.00. Did this go via enclosed or open transport? If open expect rock chips.

Sounds like the dealer has taken you for a ride, they certainly aren’t your friend. |

It's expensive to sue and likely not with the results you want but it's easy and cheap to put their name up in a new post detailing how they led you on and then forward on the link to them. It's not defamation if it's factual.

Name the dealer. What do you have to lose? You are already $2k plus out of pocket. More to gain with their name out there. You are really helping them out by not saying who it is. Someone already potentially found your car online. Just confirm if it was them who you bought it from.

Gather all text's/emails where you had stated the work you want completed for the $2,000, plus all the emails where the seller stated the car will be perfect upon arrival.
Take the BOL from the shipper with the damage markings proving that the car arrived to the shipper with the damage already. Contact a lawyer, bring all this documentation with you, and explain what happened. If the lawyer is willing to help, have him send an official letter stating there will be a lawsuit if the issues are not corrected within a certain time frame. If the seller has any brains at all, he will pay to get all the issues corrected. You have all the proof you need within the texts and emails. use it! |

I bought a car through a dealership in Toronto shipped from Calgary. Was expecting my arctic white beauty, and got a POS.
Dealer was mortified at the condition of this car, would not sell it to me. Sold me 2011 JB e90 m3 loaded car off the lot with $5000 off list. Dealer has the pockets and means to fix this. |
