In your own words you purchased the car AS IS. What about that dont you understand? Lemon laws only apply to new purchases.

You car is NOT covered by the protections offered under the California "Lemon Law".
Your car was purchased AS-IS.

Enjoy your car.

You purchased the vehicle without a current smog certificate?

And what did the mechanic you hired to do a pre-sales inspection of this vehicle have to say about its condition and fitness? Let me guess, you DIDN'T hire one?

As-Is means just that. It means there is no warranty, no guarantee of condition. The only way you can protect yourself from purchasing a car with safety or mechanical issues is to hire someone with the expertise to detect problems that you might not otherwise see or recognize. When you didn't, you accepted the vehicle just as you found it, and with no warranty, that means you have no recourse against the seller. You can't hold them to a guarantee of fitness that was never given in writing.

Enjoy your new car along with all the extras you got and didn't bargain for.
