I think the dealer wanting the $1700 is SOL and someone probably got in trouble and that person wants the $1700 so he will be out of trouble.

DO NOT SAY OR WRITE ANOTHER WORD REGARDING THIS DEALER TRANSACTION !!!
If the Dealer Management... an employee, see this discussion, or just a jealous neighbor/friend mention this forum and the discussion, it COULD provide some substance for the Dealers arguement.
But if you did not have an accident with the vehicle, and thus absolutely knew nothing of the damage, you're probably o'k.
I've heard and read of situations where a private party or a dealer will sue the previous owner of a vehicle if they can prove the person knew of the damage and indicated, "nothing is wrong with the car".
In fact, a friend of mine purchased a Cadillac Eldorado from a private party that was in one of the "better" suburbs of Phoenix. Several days after the purchase it was determined it needed brakes, rotors, calibers, etc. Essentially a rebuild of the entire brake system. Further investigation revealed the wear indicators on the pads were broken off.....to apparently hide some of the problem. Then it was discovered that some kind of "substance" was added to the brake fluid to enhance the pressure, temporarily. Well to shorten this story, the dummy original owner mistakenly indicated that the brake system was checked my a brake service repairr shop and mentioned an approximate location of the shop. My friend checked with the brake shop and they specically remembered the car. He discovered that they reccommended to the original owner, about $2200 in brake repair....essentially the entire system, about 2 weeks prior to the sale.
My friend sued the seller in small claims court and won based on the lie and intentional misleading in the sale.
Again, MY ADVISE, DO NOT WRITE ANOTHER WORD REGARDING YOUR TRANSACTION.
