More details to this question:
I recently bought a used car (a 2016 Toyota) from a dealership in Rhode Island (I live in Florida). I purchased the car with 2,700 miles with no damage, and then had the car shipped. The car arrives with 200 more miles than what I signed for and now has damage. I have a bunch of scratches on the hood, major curb rash, and 2 small holes on the front bumper. The dealership is pointing fingers at the driver, and the driver is pointing fingers at the dealership, meanwhile my car isn't getting fixed! Please help! What should I do??

I am gonna use my "spidey sense" here as I suspect this was another of many purchased vehicles over the internet sight unseenwith no independent inspection. If so, you maylikely find that the risk of such a purchase have come to roost and the expense of soirting it out may outweigh the expense of repairing the vehicle at your expense. Otherwise the liabilities will attach to the bill of lading as to who is responsible for the vehicle and who the delivery people legally worked for. Typically such items are FOB the dealer lot and your responsibility for transporting.
