<prompt> Human: So, about a year ago I was renting Car2Go cars. One month I spent 300 on rentals, and I calculated that could buy a car and purchase insurance for the same or less. I was up one night searching the Internet for cars when I found a big local dealership selling a used 2008 Smart Car for just under 6k. I contacted the dealership and the salesman offered to come pick me up and take me to see the car, since I didnt have transportation. The buying process was a lengthy hassle. After they finally drove it off a truck trailer, on which it was display, I took it for a short test drive and it seemed ok. I didnt take it up to high speeds, which I regret not doing. When doing the purchase paperwork, I decided the Service Contract was a good idea, since it was a used car and if any if the expensive parts broke, Id be covered.All said and done, the car was 6k 1.8k service contract, and after tax it was around 8kAfter driving the car for about a week, I realized some serious issues were present. I took the car to a Mercedes Benz dealership for an inspection. This was when I learned about pre-purchase inspections, and how important they are.The dealership found a lot of repairs were necessary and I took the quote back to the dealership where I purchased my car. My salesman was offering to trade the car in for another, but he would take a long time to respond and ultimately forgot about me. After about 6 months, I decide to repair the car. The first round of repairs was about 2600The second round was about 2400Now, less than a month after the last repairs, I am quoted 2200 because the AC condenser drain flooded the floorboards and electrical components will need to be replaced. Now, I had neglected that service contract I purchased. It seems some of the previous repairs would have been covered if I had contacted the company. Now, I have to file a claim and hope for a reimbursement which will be a percentage of the claim. As for the 2200 in pending repairs, the service contract company is saying they doesnt cover it due to water damage. This 6k Smart Car is costing me 15k. I dont know what to do. Im still pissed off at the dealership that sold me this broke ass car, but Im pissed at myself for not knowing about or getting a prepurchase inspection. I feel like I might just keep shoveling money into this piece of shit. This car I really dont even like. Im waiting to hear back from an attorney. I know I bought it as-is, but this BIG NAME car dealership sold me a shitty car. I would love some advice. I dont have a garage or covered car port, so Im hesitant to buy a nice car because it would be exposed to the elements, sun beaten, and bird shatten  <response>: Why didnt you follow up with the original dealership?Him forgetting about you shouldnt have happened, because you should have called back. The service contract you bought should have covered these things, OR you could argue with them that it should cover them.At this point ... Id try to sell the car and buy something from a company that actually makes reliable vehicles. Older, cheap, and in cash.
