ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 19, 1999, WE PURCHASED A 1999 LINCOLN TOWN CAR FROM THE DEALER WHICH IS REALLY DAN PFEIFFER. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CAR HAD NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. WE WERE TOLD A LOT OF THINGS WHICH WERE NOT TRUE. IN ANY CASE, WE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THE CAR AND FINALLY WE RESEARCHED THE HISTORY OF THE CAR OURSELVES WHEN IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS JUST STRINGING US ALONG. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE LINCOLN HAD BEEN TOTALED IN AN ACCIDENT ABOUT 5 MONTHS BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT. STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE CAR BUT THEN DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY CAUSED IT TO BE COSMETICALLY REPAIRED AND WE ENDED UP PAYING $46,000 FINANCED FOR A CAR WHICH HAD BEEN TOTALED ABOUT FIVE MONTHS BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT. SINCE I AM SURE THAT THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THE ACCIDENT PRIOR TO OUR PURCHASING THE CAR, DO THEY HAVE SOURCES OF INFORMATION WHICH WOULD SHOW THE HISTORY TO THEM BUT NOT THE CONSUMER? IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON CARFAX OR VHR AND THE LIKE. HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL TITLE SUITABLE FOR FRAMING IF NOTHING ELSE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH VEHICLE STALLS. CONSUMER HAS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO START AGAIN. CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.*AK CONSUMER STATES TRANSMISSION VIBRATES AFTER DRIVING AND IS ALSO NOISY. *SLC

WINDSHIELD IS LOOSE. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. HE SAID THAT CONSUMER PUT FINGER AGAINST WINDOW AND PUSH IT THROUGH.*AK
