Sold me a lemon of a car... Didnt check it for major repairs before putting it on the lot

I bought a used car back in January. I realized I bought a used car. I paid $13,000 for this car. I didnt pay $5000 for it. I have had this car to the dealership i bought it from almost every month since i have had it.

When they did the inspection on the car before they put it out on the lot to sell, they only changed the brakes, did an oil change and rotated the tires.

They did not look over any of the major parts or just ignored them. I purchased an extended warranty on the car which covers powertrain which of course all my problems that i have been having with the car, the warranty doesnt cover, imagine that.

I have had several problems with this car, some of which they helped me pay for, today, i just found out, after paying for a struit last month, have a bad tie rod end, which is going to cost me $225 to fix it. The struit just doesnt go out in less then 6 months. The tie rod, the mechanic told me today, could go out, but they let me drive off that lot today, with it being a hazard with my 10 yr old daughter in the car with me.

I believe theses problems were wrong with the car when they put it on the lot to be sold "as is". I believe that the mechanics are to fix the cheap problems and when the person goes to buy the car has to bring it back so the dealership will get money out of their pocket instead of fixing the problem before it is sold, a struit just doesnt go bad within 3 to 4 months of having the car.

We have bought 5 cars from this dealership in the past 1 1/2yrs. I would think they would want to keep our business. I guess not. From now on, this dealership will not be seeing me, my family or any one of my friends. I have already reported them the BBB.
