I am asking for repairs to the vehicle, and 15k in diminished value, stress, pain and suffering and what not.. I talked to Lou Fusz, and asked if 15k was too much. he said no, if I was asking for a new car AND 15k it would be a little outlandish

this fight is no longer just about me.. its about us as a community and making sure other dealerships don't do slimy **** to people because they think they can get away with it. I appreciate all of your guys support..

Sorry, I hadn't come across this thread sooner...
This is why I don't let my car out of my sight. I don't trust the dealerships, and never will. Sorry for your misfortune with the dealership and hope all gets fixed. Funny though, their FB page got wrecked!

Anything from your auto insurance company? There should be some movement by now. Did the insurance company get the vehicle hauled away from the dealership to a truly independent third part for mechanical evaluation? With Ryan owning so many dealerships and thereby having such influence in the industry in the community, finding someone both independent and non-corruptible may be difficult if not impossible in Minot. BTW, I don't trust auto insurance companies any more than auto dealerships. I would not be surprised if some corruption may enter the picture between the dealership and whoever it is from the insurance company that's contacting them ...... with you being the one that is screwed in the end (so to speak). That is, I would not be surprised of what you are offered is far less than you expect, even though you really are owed much more. Therefore, make sure you tell everybody here what the insurance company's settlement offer to you is BEFORE you accept it. If it is a low-ball, it may make perfect economic sense to go the small-claims-court route which, again, appears to be a fairly painless thing to do in ND. Even the threat of such a thing may sweeten the insurance company's offer to you. Good luck. |

My insurance is doing well, they actually were cool with me sending my car to a shop of my choosing. As of now, my insurance is paying out, and will go after their insurance.
I still do not feel whole as the dealership is responsible for this, and they are getting away with it. I might just have to go to the owner solo, since I still haven't gotten any letters or written statements from any technicians.

I am sorry you are having to go through this BS Isamu. Unfortunately I am going through some dealership issues as well. I bought my Z for Cosmo Motors about 45 days ago and found out after the fact that they dealership had an improper lean release. Long story short I signed an agreement for the title ect to be transferred as well in 30 (per state law). Total for those services was around 1k and it took 43 days making my car illegal to drive for 14 days. Any dealership wont refund me my fees and instead called this an innocent mistake. Anyone who would like to make some noise against dealerships like this please go to their FaceBook page and click reviews were you will find my 1 star review of them! We have go to look out for our members stuff like this is happening way to often!

I'll be the killjoy on this.
Your insurance company is covering the car. That's good. It's on them to go after the dealership. If you go after them separately, you may want to inform your insurance company of your intent. If you find a lawyer to take the case, chances are any additional cash awards you get are going to be largely eaten up by their fees. The smear campaign on that dealership is in full swing, and rightfully so. They had no business taking a known fire hazard out on the road. But you should ask yourself if you have the resolve and the resources to see this through? Remember that the dealership can afford good attorneys and I'm sure they already have them on retainer. It's not a fair system and the little guy almost always loses out. A diminished value award is something your insurance company should be able to pursue - talk to your agent. Best of luck and thanks for your military service. |

First, although I've read some of the posts in this thread, I haven't stumbled on the exact details of your vehicle such as year, miles, etc. Of course those details will be necessary for anyone to determine what the vehicle's market value was before the dealership set it on fire and how much it might be worth now with the amount of money that will have to be sunk into it to get it back to mint condition, assuming that that can be done, which, considering that it was not involved in a collision, but only a fire and a dousing with dry chemical from an extinguisher, it should. After all, there's nothing wrong with the engine, etc., correct? The vehicle hasn't been "totaled", has it? If not, do you know what the estimated cost of repair is? Did the dealership hand you an estimated cost of repair with parts and labor included? Do you own the vehicle outright, or are you still making payments? If the latter, how much have you sunk into the vehicle so far and how much more have you got to go? Are you a competent DIYr? If you are, your sweat equity alone may allow you to get the vehicle back to like-new with not that much of your settlement spent. All of this information will be helpful for anyone advising you how to proceed most economically. Second, I haven't had a chance to check myself, but you should read the shop manual's repair / troubleshooting procedure for a brake line leak or master cylinder reservoir fluid level that keeps dropping or requires constant re-filling. See if there's anything in there that recommends taking the vehicle for a "test" (joy) ride. |
