Bought car in November, it’s May now. Car was not blowing cold air (bought in December when it’s freezing cold outside so didn’t check until a week ago). When I took it to 1 shop, they told me the aftermarket radiator mesh (to protect radiator) cut a hole in the condenser. Therefore my car wouldn’t blow cold air…

But the thing is I didn’t install it, it came like that when I bought the car from the dealership (because the first owner had aftermarket parts installed and I guess the dealership took it in as a trade and didn’t inspect it enough…. Basically they missed it upon inspection before putting the car for sale)

Now me (the buyer) is left with a damaged right side condenser that the dealership (seller) didn’t disclose when I bought the car. Upon bringing it back to the dealer they tried to blame me for the cause (saying when I got my car wrapped, the wrap guy must have reput zip ties or something)… they’re basically not taking responsibility. It seems like the repair department realizes they’re at fault, but they said the “sales” department have to pay for it, and they won’t… so it seems like nobody wants to take responsibility….

I’m about to visit the dealer again where they have my car and see what’s the solution. I am waiting for the sales guy to call me back because when I called him after I got an update, he said he’ll get back to me.

What should I do if they don’t wanna take the blame… eat the $2500 repair? Get a lawyer and see if lemon law applies? Im so frustrated.
