Does this car dealer really have grounds for a suit or is he just trying to be slick?

He can sue you, sure.   Whether or not he can WIN is the real issue, and as long as you told the truth, you have a pretty good defense.  If he is harassing you by phone and threatening, I think THAT's his intent - just to give you a hard time.  His legal costs would be pretty significant, and, even if yor story is only PART true, he stands little chance of collecting from you (although a trail is a hassle, and you would have some expense).\n\nSounds like he's playing "chicken."  Make sure your version of the story is accurate, and then ignore him.  Or if you don't think the harassment is worth posting a complaint, remove it and get over it.  If the complaint is legitimate, you should report him to the BBB.  And if it were me, I would post something with THAT, and just say  you had a very bad experience.

Drug dealer/pimp.  You need a slammed Mercedes on hydraulics and a zoot suit with lots of bling ;)

He has a suit? It should be with stripes and a number on it.

He must be desperate for money.\nI don't think it's a good idea.

It "drives" me crazy! Why? Because I so can't af'ford the car!! If only they could dee'sign a car that was taylor made for someone as cheap as me! I am just one of those Hicks from tennessee though so I'll never be able to buy this car. *sigh*\n\nAnd that's what I think about that. *curtsies*

First off, you demonstrated your intelligence and good business sense by getting a second opinion.  Something that is always a good idea when dealing with a business like auto repair which is as populated by hard working ethical business people as it is by cheats and thieves.\n\nSecond, this may sound too "California" for you, but from my own experiences dealing with disreputable people, it is important not to let all of that negative energy become all consuming.  It is not good for one's health and can effect your judgment in other areas.\n\nThird, you do have a legitimate gripe and you should take some action to see that others are not taken in by this individual.  Some ideas:\n-Report them to the better business bureau\n-Send an email to your local news, they often cover scam artists to try and help people\n-Report them bsuienss to the Emissions Agency, I'm not sure what state you live in, but here the business can lose their license for this kind of fraud and deceipt and this is a big deal, they make a lot of money on the inpections which bring many potential customers to them.\n\nThe last option is probably the closest thing to "revenge" I would recommend.  Anything more extreme will probably just result in further frustrating you with a situation that has already caused you a great deal of distress.  Take one, or all of these actions and then move on to the more positive things in your life.

No. Some companies operate with a lot more transparency, take a used car dealership which exists pretty much on information asymmetry and an honest stock broker who will not be able to make his sale without disclosing as much as he can about the issue he is pitching...

He drives some fancy expensive car.  He is rich and has more cars then me and you combined probably.

It all seems a little unreal, he seems to be a little too into himself. It doesn't make sense, why would you spend money on lawyers when its such a pointless case? Just unreal.

Nope you are well within the limit, but most all dealers have signs posted about being not liable for damage etc. It's a bad cop out but I bet your dealer has such signs.

Only if you are trying to attract the shallow ones!!  Honestly, the only thing I would "judge" about a guy's car is whether it's clean and he takes care of it and it gets us from point A to point B.

It appears as if you've already answered your own question, regarding whether the dealer is greedy or not.  This question is ridiculous first off and to try and answer it is even more ridiculous.

I don't feel sorry for the person that he's hogging the runs from.  He's ambitious, and obviously hard working while the person he's hogging them from is an obvious complainer and potentially lazy.  He wants the next step which is getting out of the car; acting as manager; taking the orders or making the pizza's.  That kind of hard work is noted.  If you don't like it, you have 2 choices.  You can quit, or you can step up your own performance a bit.  Anything else you do will make it look bad on you and make it even better for him.

Since it has been 8months I doubt you will get anywhere with it. Not only that you have to prove that they knew about the damage....the court doest side on just assumptions. If I would you next time you buy a used car take it some place and get it looked over if the dealer ship wont allow it have the look it over and sign off that there is no damage. If you dont like this answer I would seek legal help!

If that is exactly what he said that is very unprofessional. I don't know if you can get any legal recompense but he should ddefinitely be penalised for saying that kind of thing.Maybe you could get in touch with a solicitor or something. Or Thomas Kenney's boss.

He probably does odd jobs on occasion when he wants/needs money.  Like mowing lawns, or hauling stuff, or selling drugs, or studding out his male dog...who knows. You could just ask HIM to be a bit more clear.

Seriously ... however much he'd actually pay for one.  Before putting your precious item in a dealer's hands, I'd suggest getting an appraisal on it, so you have a better idea.
