<prompt> Human: So heres my situation:Last month I bought a newer used car 2012 Ford, 32k miles as is with no warranty. Less than a month after buying it the transmission went out on it suddenly. I took it back to the dealership who then had to send it to another Ford dealership to have the problem looked at. Apparently something happened with the front passenger tire which somehow damaged the engine mount which caused a chain reaction that resulted in damages over 7000. I only had basic liability with my car insurance so they were unable to do anything about it, and I dont have a warranty under the dealership or Ford either. The damage is blamed on me even though Im a safe driver and didnt do anything to damage the vehicle myself.Im very worried about my situation and I dont know many options that I have. Im going to be going to the dealership tomorrow to discuss the problem but I would still like to know any options I have in this situation.  <response>: So as I understand it, you bought the car and it gave out on you, then now youre being quoted 7000 in repairs?If thats the case, I would first advise you to ask some non-dealership repair shops what they would charge for the damage. Ill bet you can knock a couple grand off the bill that way.
