[Resolved]  Car — Seller cheated by hiding accident history

Address:

Andhra Pradesh

I bought a i10 car believing the words of the seller 6 months back and just last week I discovered the car met with a Major accident from Hyundai Corporation as I pressed them for fixing permanently the strange noise that developed while applying breakes. The seller deliberately did hide this info when I specifically asked if there was any major/minor impact to the car earlier. She even covered it up by saying that the car has been well maintained and just returned from a full service. When this accident history of the car came out from Hyundai Corporation in the context of repairing the noise - they clarified it that they cannot cover this under warranty because of the Major repairs done in the past for the car due to a Major accident!! Now when I approached them (they already fleed to USA - I have all their contacts though) asking to take the car back or return 25% of the amount I already paid towards the car, they bluntly denied and challenged me to "do whatever you can" and said if I make more calls they will book me under harassment act with the help of their lawyer relatives and see to it that I drain millions of my money fighting those cases :( - This kind of reverse attack and blackmailing me in return is the least expected thing from them. The phone number they used when in India during the deal is no more active. This sounds like they were well prepared to trap any buyer. Hyundai Corporation has all the repair history. Can something be done to recover money from the sellers now? I paid Rs.4,70,000 for this car which was exactly a year old and ran less than 2000km at the time of Purchase. I paid Rs.4,50,000 in cash (I have written proof) and another Rs.10,000 as advance then Rs.10,000 after getting final set of the documents from HDFC Bank - after clearing the Finance. She did not even give me the existing Insurance policy. When I asked her she told that she couldn't find it anywhere and suggested that I better go for a fresh Policy...I know it's my mistake that I let go few things due to very kind and gentle (acting) approach by her and also hurrying me up in between that she needs money to do shopping and do packing for soon to be US trip. She and her husband both educated (hopefully) and does the guy does Job in a reputed company - so skillfully cheating/trapping me into buying their repaired car - I wonder what they are upto!! My recent emails to them asking to pay me back Rs.75,000 at least and settle the matter forever, did not get any responses. They are just pretending that they are not reading my mails. So I managed to get his official ID and marked a copy to that address for which he immediately called me back and reverse attacked me and abused me so badly!! He even says he will see that I am booked under harassment case if I ever attempt to call them!! How to go about this case? I simply cannot digest the fact that I am cheated by them..its like a defeat. USA doesn't want this kind of criminal minded people..I wonder how he is entertained in that land for whatever is the reason...appreciate your sincere help and advice. Thanks in advance.
