Hi,
What state do you live in please? Also, is the car still under the manufacturer's warranty?
Wisconsin
It was when i bought it a year ago and like a month later it was done because i hit 60,000
as of right now no the car is not
Thank you. Under WI law, for your car to be deemed a lemon it must have been purchased new and can be no more than a year old. If not purchased as new, then it still has to be under warranty. I am afraid your vehicle does not fit the statutory definition of a lemon. Sorry :(
Is there anything that the dearler can offer me or am i just out of luck no matter which way i look at it?
It is certainly at the dealer's option to offer you something, but he is not legally required to. Used cars are very tricky because you can't claim the lemon law, and if you try to sue the dealer, all they have to do is claim that the car was sold "as is", with no representations. With a used car sale, the courts always apply the "caveat emptor" doctrine, which means "buyer beware". A used car is bound to have issues and so unless the dealer made blatant misrepresentations to you that amounted to Fraud or deceptive trade practices, you are pretty much out of luck here.
