Yes, she did a full inspection the day AFTER she bought it, and problem came up. Car was out of province and rebuilt. Guy is dodging the calls.
however we found out the car was purchased from icbc salvage yard early dec 2010, And we know which dealer purchased it. However she purchased it 2 days ago from a individual private seller instead. Which leads us to believe that these guys are partners. So that car was bought and "repaired" within less than a month.
I also called the so called dealership, and they denied they even had the car. Until i told him I had proof that they indeed purchased this car from the salvage yard did they cave in and admitted to having the car. They told me it was sold a while ago, however its only been within a month.
so were contacting the links that everyone provided and see how that goes from there.
I also dont want to publicize the name of the dealership just yet, until everything is settled. But just a hint, its in new west.
thank you

perhaps the private seller was trying to flip the vehicle?
i have kept cars for a few days before selling them out.
at least your friend can do some basic research next time before they purchase her next vehicle.
ie.
icbc / car proof report - find history and lien of vehicle
basic vehicle research - civic ex vs si. the si emblem is basically written all over the car.. gauges, seats, trunk, grill, 5 spd vs 6 spd.
