The dealership said that the car was inspected before it was sold and during the inspection they found no clutch/flywheel problems.
I told them that it's possible that their inspector missed the flywheel problem when inspecting the car since <I>their mechanic</I> missed the problem the first time I took it back as stated above.
I've taken the car to a certified dealership (the car was purchased from a dealership that did not specialize in that vehicle type) and the mechanics at this dealership looked at the flywheel. They said that the damage to the flywheel appears to be inflicted over a long period of time, not short-term as the purchase-dealership is saying. I told this to the purchase-dealership and they are still refusing to budge.
The manufacturer's warranty is still in effect on the car, the 30-day warranty was still in effect, and the 4-year warranty from the dealership is still in effect on the car but not one of these cover the clutch. The warranty doesn't matter, however -- the damage was done previous to me purchasing the car. The car was sold to me in this condition without my knowledge. Do I have any grounds to stand on?
