I just bought my Jeep alittle over a week ago. Last night I washed and detailed it after taking the tops off to install the bikini top.
First thing: When the tops were off I notice that above the right speaker behind the passenger front seat, the "cap" was missing and I could see the wiring for the speaker. I looked over to the left and that side was covered with a "cap". I thought that was weird.
Second: After washing the vehicle, my friend had came by and was inspecting the Jeep. (He is a mechanic and body parts guy) He said, "Amber, did you know that the back passenger door has been repainted?" The look on my face answered that question for him! He told his hand and went over the paint mid door and then higher up. He had me feel the difference in paint. One was smooth where the other was "gritty".
Third: I started thinking about the day I bought the Jeep. After I test drove the Jeep, I noticed a scratch in the paint. I told the salesman that I didn't want this one and wanted the other one exactly like this one. He said no problem let's go run the numbers. After getting inside he came over to me and said the other Jeep already had another person interested in it. He said that scratch could be buffed out. It was a small scratch and go I agreed to the purchase of this Jeep.
So this morning, I paid the $39.99 fee and ran a carfax on the Jeep. There is nothing on the carfax other than the predelivery inspection and the date it was sold to me.
I am heading over there this morning to have a talk with these people. I feel that they knew something had happened to this Jeep and when I asked about the other one, they intentionally pushed this one to get it off the lot.
My plan is to first talk to them about the missing "cap" and get that taken care of. Then move to the repainting of the door.
Do y'all have any advice on how to handle the rest of this mess?!?! I am so freaking upset about this that I couldn't sleep much last night........
Thanks in advance for any input you all my have!!
