I was not sure where to post this.I need some legal advice.I purchased a car in April and after 2 days I purchased it it was in the shop with a cracked radiator,broken power steering pump,cracked water pump and a few other items.It came up to over $900.00.During a brief conversation with the mechanic he informed me that he told the dealership that they needed to repair this before they sold the car because it would cause alot of damage to the engine.In the state of Virginia it is unlawful to sell a car without telling the purchaser about any mechanical problems prior to the purchase.I need some advice because I want to sue the company but I need to know under what statues.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
It is absolutely legal to sell a car with "problems". The responsibility is with you, that before you sign your name on the dotted line, that you ask to have the car inspected by your own mechanic.
Otherwise, you take the car at your own risk - - unless, of course, the dealership offered you, and you rejected, a warrantee. Usually, a dealership sells cars "As-Is".
