About a week ago a moron knocked ali's bike over in a parking lot and there were several witnesses, the cops did nothing even though they could have gotten several witness statements and the ass hole had the nerve to leave his bike there- which the witnesses had pointed out. So our insurance decides to sort everything out. Mr. adjuster shows up to take a look at the bike and informs us the bike was already written off a total loss and they could give us 1400 minus the deductable for vandalism (500!)
I know there is no way I would have bought a salvage bike from a dealer, (we had another bike we were looking at that was cheaper but we went with this one because it was lowered and had fewer miles) so if I knew it was already totalled I wouldn't have bothered.
My question is this: Is it legal for a dealer to sell a salvaged bike? If so, is there additional paper work that needs to be signed.
This purchase has been trouble from day one and they have been hell to deal with.
They had HORRIBLE service and lied through their teeth to sell us this bike. I'm incredibly pissed off at this situation and want to know if you guys have any ideas. (accepting 900 for a bike we JUST spent 4k on isn't an option...)
Also to be noted is the fact we have been paying for full coverage insurance on a 4000 bike for the last year.
