Lemon Law? Suing? Car Issues!?

My mum has put money into it so far. It seemed to be in good condition when she bought it. Soon after she found out that the air flow %26quot;tube%26quot; had holes in it. She took it back to the dealership and said it was fixed. Our mechanic had to fix it. We were told that we had a warranty for only the engine. So, certain things we could not fix with them. My mum has had to put more into it then what it is worth. She has had her brakes done, air bag fixed in the passenger's side(it was sitting behind the glove box/it was also repacked wrong), tune up (wrong spark plugs was put into it), oil change, alternator belt, and now possibly the solenoid. Like I said, it was in %26quot;good%26quot; condition we bought it, or so we thought. It's in %26quot;fair%26quot; condition. We have had the suv for a little over a year. My mum is also over paying. She's paying them eventually almost $8,000 when even in great condition, fair. That's the excellent value. The dealership has gone out of business and no way to talk to them.

%26quot;Lemon laws%26quot; vary from state to state. Contact your state's AG to see if her car is covered under your state's law. Some states do cover used cars, but only if there is a warranty still in effect, and only for the warranty items.



One big thing that is VERY strongly advised to anyone buying a used car is to take it to a mechanic OF YOUR CHOICE to have it inspected. If the seller refuses to let you do this, it's a very good sign they are hiding something, and you should not walk away from the deal, but run as fast as you can away from it.



One big thing that stands out with your description: The airbag was repacked wrong. This is a VERY STRONG indication that the car was in an accident. While the wrong spark plugs is an issue, a tune up, oil change, and belts are not covered under lemon laws. They are normal maintenance items.

The Lemon Laws do not apply at all to used cars. If it was used when your mom bought it, she's stuck with it.
This is hilarious...really.

First, who would you sue if the dealer is out of business? THINK!

Second, lemon laws only apply to NEW cars.

Third, 99% of used cars are sold %26quot;as is%26quot;...meaning you should have had it inspected before you bought it.

Fourth, I've neen around cars a long time and have never heard of an %26quot;air flow tube%26quot;. Overpaying is her fault...no one elses. No one put a gun to her head to make her buy it.
