Today, I found out that the car I got a great deal on a few days ago, needs a new transmission. I'm now the proud owner of a very large and very expensive paperweight. FML

Today, after hours of waiting and $300 spent, I find out my transmission is dying. My car is old, so the price of rebuilding it is more than it's worth. That's money well spent. FML

Today, the transmission on my brand new car went out. I bought it last month when the transmission on my old car went out. FML

Today, I sold my wife's old car because I bought her a newer and nicer one. On the way back home from the sale, the transmission went out in her new one. FML

Sounds like a scam

Today, I bought a car. Made a down payment and everything. Have the papers saying it’s mine, only to find out a few hours later it was sold right before I bought it. FML

Today, being the man of the house, I decided to work on the car. Long story short, there's a towel in my transmission. FML

Today, I replaced the fog lights on my car and completely filled my gas tank. $50+ later, the transmission decided it wanted to go out. FML

Today, I bought my very first car that I spent years saving for. A few hours after I signed all the papers, I let my boyfriend go for a test drive. He totaled it. FML

Today, I finally bought a car, after saving up for a year. My dealer had told me it was a good buy, so I snapped it up then and there. On the way home, the rear axle practically fell out of the car due to frame rot. My dealer wants to buy the car back at half the price. FML

Today, I bought a new $10,000 car since my old one broke down. Today, I also found out the old one wasn’t starting because i never had it in park. FML

Today, after buying hundreds of dollars worth of Christmas presents, my transmission blew up on the interstate heading home. Now, I either have to return the gifts or not drive over 25. FML

That is probably why you got a good deal!

Buyer beware! Something too good probably means it is. A trip to your local mechanic might have been worth the trip for such a big investment! Live and learn!

#32- Which you're expecting to show a possibly faulty transmission? Nope, doesn't work that way.

And you didn't know this when you took it out on a test drive? #FAIL,

That's why you get it checked out by a mechanic before you buy

I'm not sure an automobile would fit on your desk. So even as a paperweight, it is still useless.

Check to see if there is a lemon law in your state. Did you get it from a dealer? I'd be raising hell with them. Rights vary by state, do its worth checking into!

I work for a very large and very honest car dealer. If they were good they would fix it for you or split it or something. Never buy from an independent dealer (I.e. non ford, chevy, dodge, etc). Good luck my friend.
