Item number six below IS the most material safety issue. also note that the car had a subtle defect in the suspension that caused a dangerous handling problem. the dealership knew about these issues but failed to disclose them despite being asked directly if the car had any known mechanical defects. 1. ferrari of denver sold me an 2000 aston martin DB7 V12, for which I paid in full 2. they delivered it to me here in california 3. the car was materially different from the way they represented it 4. the car could not pass california emissions tests, so I had to spend over $10,000 fixing things just to register it 5. it had an illegal radar jamming system installed (not a legal detector) which will cost thousands to remedy 6. the car did not have working seat belts or airbags. they had to have known about this. the srs warning light was on when the car was delivered. I have several witnesses to this fact. 7. they charged me for an after market warranty, I paid in full, and they have failed to deliver it. this IS material: I made it clear in writing that the warranty was a non-negotiable requirement for them to make the sale, and the charge was thousands of dollars. 8. there are issues related to this case in excess of $100,000 and climbing: the car broke down again recently, with a problem that would have been covered under the paid-for-but-not-delivered warranty. 9. they have refused to address any of these issues, or even to discuss them civilly much less seriously. any suggestions would be much appreciated. *la
