so.. first off i figure with the wealth of knowledge on here i could get some decent advice...
here it is... MY GF of 3 years bought a used 95 VW jetta about a year ago through a dealer/idividual. not sure on that part. we have been dealing with the individual mostly. anyways she went to go get the emisions done in september and everywhere she goes says they cant do it saying that it wont show up on thier systems (the emisions part). so after going to 9 places she finally goes to VW dealership and she finds out that the car has been imported from canada and is not set up to have the emisions tests done. SO she contacts the county she lives in (not sure but she lives in north ogden) and they have been giving here temp permits till it gets figured out. We contacted the guy she bought it from and he says its not his fault. He is trying to pawn it off on the guy that passed it.he is saying he is going to get her a new car. its been a few months and she still has the car and the county wont give her anymore permits.....
so she has a few issues.
1) she cant sell it. so he has said he will take it back as a trade in for a new one but doesnt want to give her even close to market value. (market value being a car like hers that emisions works)
2) the car works great and i have helped fix alot of small things but now may need a wheel bearing replaced. her permit is expired and she cant drive it. but doesnt really want to put money into it when she is just trying to get rid of it.
3) she is picky about the replacement car. she want another jetta and color and auto blah blah blay.
she does have some leverage though because the county or state guy that is helping her has said that the person that sold her the car is in jeopardy of being fined and/or losing his dealers license...
so... what would you do...
the dealership/individual that she got her car from is offering a trade in but its super low and then offering to get her a replacement but has yet to find one that fits her criteria. yet i have found like 6 on autotrader that are perfect.
I really feel like this guy is taking advantage of her and want to make sure she is taken care of.....
I hope this makes sense. thanks for reading al of this and any input you have is greatly appreciated.
