A dented fender could be $2500. Is it bad form on his part? Absolutely! I don't know if you have a legal case though.

I have went over the conversation we had when buying this car since this happened. early on when I posted this I was so angry and aggravated it probably had clouded my memory somewhat. My wife reminded me that when we were standing on the lot looking at the car, I asked the salesman if the car had ever been wrecked and the salesman told us he knew the history of this car because he traded it in and it had never been wrecked and he had a "clean" carfax to prove it and I was welcome to look at it which I did when we were at his desk later. His high school senior daughter had been the one driving it and I asked why he traded it in and he replied that she graduated this year and he traded it and bought her a Malibu. That is my problem. He knew it had been wrecked and lied when asked about it.
