Fucking shit, car I just bought is a goddamn lemon ( lemon law help? )

I wouldn't tell him anything. If he willing forks out any cash or help, he's doing more than he's legally bound to do.

I disagree with this. If you bought the car from a semi reputable dealer, you should just explain what you and your mechanic have found what it's going to take to fix it and let him know up front that your not expecting him to pay for the whole thing but helping in anyway would be greatly appreciated.

You obviously didn't read very thoroughly. Their bill of sale said "AS IS, NO WARRANTY" on a used vehicle, sold as a private sale. Meaning, he is legally not bound to any repairs, reimbursement, or rentals (etc).


Just like when you sold your Scion and stated the same coverage. At any point if the buyer of your Scion came back with a blown headgasket asking or demanding any type of help, you can tell him good luck with everything, don't let the door hit you on the way out. My point is, he's saying he should "TELL" the seller what he needs to do for him, instead of being gracious of any help that was offered.

Love you, alan. lol.

LOL. Fuck you. LOL. Nah I read it and understood it completely. My argument was simply that if it is a halfway reputable dealer, if you go to them and say "Hey look, I understand I bought a vehicle as is and that legally you guys aren't bound to do anything. However, after taking delivery within (insert time frame) XYZ has gone wrong with the car and I was wondering if you guys would be willing to help with some of the repairs. Not ALL, but SOME." With the economy the way it is and used car deals becoming harder and harder, dealers are more willing than ever to go above and beyond the call of duty to keep a car in the streets. Believe me we have it happen every so often. We sold awhile back an 07 SS Trailblazer with 100K miles on it and within a couple of days the transmission in it took a dump. It wouldn't go into second. We asked them to cover transport cost and paid most of the cost of replacing the transmission. Everyone walked away happy.
