Business ProfileforBuick GMC Brooksville

My wife and I, legal NH residents (p-t Florida residents), bought a 2021 ***** Equinox from the Buick GMC Brooksville Fl. dealer in 4/24 which included a *** warranty having gone through a 127 point inspection. Our price for the Equinox was $23955 before our trade in. The *** warranty convinced me that it was in perfect condition. And the Sales Manager told us it had never been in an accident and then referred to the Carfax report which listed 0 accidents. We later learned that the Equinox had in fact been in an accident in 2022. The previous owner did not report the accident and had the most shoddy work done to cover it up. On 6/11/24 our garage mechanic gave me the bad news. He pointed out the defects/shoddy paint work during its annual registration inspection. To verify it I took it to two NH ***** dealerships for an appraisal and received the more bad news. First, both sales managers said they never would have certified it due to the accident. Second, they told me due to the accident it was only worth $16, 500 to $18500 discounting the value by approximately 20%. They both easily spotted the shoddy paintwork noting an abnormal gap in the rear passenger door and clearcoat paint hidden by the door. I emailed the dealer's general manager requesting that the passenger side be redone correctly . She insulted us by offering $20K to buy it back. Then in 7/24 she told me that she talked to the previous owner on the phone who informed her of the accident in 7/22 . The Equinox had been on their lot for 2 months before we bought it. The sales manager must have known about the shoddy paintwork / accident when he appraised it as two other sales managers easily spotted it. This dealership camouflaged the passenger side defect by selling it as a *** when 2 NH dealerships said they would not. I asked the ** if she or her Sales Manager knew of the accident. Received no reply.Yes, we bought it as is but now believe we were snookered by them.
