It seems that I committed the most egregious error that could be considered a sin to all those purchasing a used car. I bought a car that was 122 miles away from me. So, I had the car test checked and scanned before I made any move. The verdict from the said mechanic was everything looked great and no fault errors. But, and this is the biggest sin of all, it was not the mechanic of my choice. So, based on his findings I purchased the car. Now I have the car and took it to my mechanic and you have already surmised by the title of this post what happened. The is a 180 of what the mechanic told me 122 miles away from me. So now I will have to fight a battle to get my down back and the loan company to agree with me that it was a fraud. I don't have much experience in this area, so I'm reaching out to anyone who might have experience and provide me with some solid information I can battle.

Thank you all in advance.

Maybe some more details?

what car? What is wrong with the car ...

ygmn

lot more details like what is the car?

FRAUD is when done on purpose and hard to prove.
Errors and having no clue to what you are doing is not fraud

Also as an Old ABS Surveyor once told me:

The car is a 2007 SL-550. I bought the car based on a mechanic that (of their choice) lied to me about the condition of the car. Plus, the "Dealership" told me that they had fixed an issue with the convertible top when all they did was mickey mouse it to work short term. It was never fixed. When I get a list of EVERYTHING else that wrong with the car, (again they told me there was nothing wrong with the car and the diag scan was clean) I'll come back here and post the list. I can tell you this now, It's bad, real bad meaning to fix the car would be anywhere near or above 12k which was my initial down payment on the car.
