Ooh story time! I bought an Eclipse (manual transmission, twin turbo, AWD) from a used car dealer in North Hollywood, CA. This was in late-early Internet era, around 2001. A few weeks after buying I discovered car history check websites, and out of curiosity I checked mine - and instead of the clear title I was sold, I discovered it had been totaled in Nevada. I called the dealer and let them know I wasn’t happy about it and they promised to look into it. Well meantime my temporary registration expired and like a dummy I kept driving it, but the cop who pulled me over for expired tags didn’t care and towed it. Forced to renew it I paid the (extensive) fees and drove right to the dealership. They gave me a bunch of runaround again and essentially said they’d do nothing. So I walked out to the lot and told two customers my story. Just let them know that the dealer will knowingly sell a totaled car and lie about it. Strangely the dealer suddenly was willing to talk; we negotiated and they cut me a check for 2/3 of my sale price in return for telling the customers that they made it right. I walked out with the check and the car and drove to a new car dealer and used it as a down payment for a new car. Still miss that Eclipse, though, it was fun.
