I purchased my 2013 FR-S used, in July of 2014. Now let me say this, I couldn't have been happier, I'm 21 and was finally able to afford a car I really wanted, this was also my first car purchase 100% by myself. Which turned out to be a mistake, and I'll explain why.
The dealership I purchased my Scion from was King's Toyota in Cincinnati, Ohio. When I originally financed the car, it was for $24,XXX. It was immediately upside down due to my trade in being $2,000 less than what I owed. (First mistake, but I was well aware of this.)
Second, this car had just arrived at the dealer, it wasn't available for sale yet, but they did the inspections and were ready to sell it in a couple days. When I got back, ready to sign the papers and drive home in my new vehicle. They told me the car had been in a previous accident, but all they replaced was the front bumper and front passenger, tiny corner window. This being my first major purchase, I didn't think anything of it.
No big deal right? (Second mistake)
Now, I didn't sign any paper work regarding the accident or damage. They also didn't show me a CarFax and I also didn't think to ask for it as the title was clean, which I did ask about. (Third mistake)
This year, I drove to a few dealerships looking to test drive a few cars, something a bit

Kings toyota is very shady when it comes to sales and especially service but try to get the original document and see what you signed on. If it directly say that you're buying a damaged car then it's your fault for not checking the damages.
Do you remember who you worked with? I remember seeing that car on lot back in 2014 before I got my whiteout. The person I talked to did mention a problem with this car regarding an engine issue but not the bumper replacement. That's when I backed up and looked somewhere else when he mention that the car is basically "new" after informing me about the damages. That crap aint new lol.
As for the documents, sorry to say but you're not going to get any documents Unless you bother them everyday by actually driving there. You got ripped off on this one and there's really not alot you can do if you signed off on a damage car sale. You might be able to get them on falsifying information overall good luck!
If you want me to go yell at them with you hmu!
