Update...tracked down what happened (after contacting their corporate general counsel to get them off their butts)...dealership is taking responsibility and will be paying for the damage once I get it fixed.

And I re-examined the invoice...they are quoting me to replace the whole door because of how screwed up the original repair was. No way that a simple door skin will work this time.

Hi everyone...

So for those who are doing the "AS IS" argument.

The dealer knew about these repairs before selling me the car and NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THEM (negligence on dealerships part). I even talked with Utah's consumer affairs division and they said I could have a case against them...but if the dealership wants to go the route of making me get an attorney, then I'll just forget the whole thing and write a very nasty yelp review.

For any used cars...full disclosure of all accidents and prior service history is required by law.

So I do have some recourse. If you are all wondering how the repair comes out to around $3,500, well it is because the door skin has to be replaced, paint has to be done and blended, alignment with front and rear quarter panels, etc.

And finally...thanks for the Lambo door idea, but I'll pass.
I was hit on my passenger door and i had the skin replaced and the whole passenger side of the car repainted to blend in i was charged $1500

Actually...it is reasonable since the whole door is being replaced. They can't just replace the door skin because of how badly the other place screwed it up.
