Hey i bought a 99' civic EX off a dealer and he advertised it as being a v-tec like it should be but come to see its not for some obveous reasons it says d15y7 and not y8 on the block and theres no cylinoid but i herd there was a possibility of a internal cylinoid but thats completely wrong. but i was just wondering if there was something i could do to either have them get the d15y8 engine and put in or something else because of the false advertisement
good luck man, but i hate to tell you, you probably aren't going to get anything. and if you do, it will probably take over a year.hay i got everything for me to sue the bastard and i went to honda and i had them do an estimate on a new engine/tranny for my car plus everything else thats supose to be in my car and im gonna be getting around 5-6 grand. so im gonna save that money and instead of puttin the d16y8 in my car im gonna just build a car from scratch.
thats why you sue for attorneys fees and court costs also.you won't get that much. what ever you think you're gonna get, subtract 33% for the lawyer.
$5000-33%=$3350 - court costs = $3k. that's only if you win.
small claims is usually under $5k. this kid wont see shit. sorry to say.also depends on the state. might be small claims and in some states (pa) you can't sue for legeal fees or court costs in small claims.
alright, well when you win this case, scan the check they cut you. i want to see it.no i am in small claims but ive already tlked to the court and since theres so many safety issues that they see i will get all of it to get it considered safe for me to drive and plus all the lawyers and court fees are goin to be added in what they owe me so i wont be paying anything
and im in florida
thats what i've been saying all along. a vtec head will cost way less and less headache. i don't think they know anything different, they just don't give a shit because they know it will take forever and don't really have to pay for anything. they'll just take the car back and sell it to someone else.If you threatened legal action to the dealership, and they didn't budge, you should probably back off. That means they know something you don't.
Buy a y8 head, and call it a day.
