i got a stituation...

[burgman]

Cali lemom-law i purchased a 99' mazda b4000 4x4. with 98k miles on it. and yes i did it without consulting a mechanic. so now its gonna cost me thousands of dallors just to make it safe. like around 3-4 then there are like 2 more thousand in lil ware and tares that need to be done. nobody has done any service on this truck for the last four years. all i was told was wrong was a rip in the cv boot. so knowing a 20 year old kid owned it for the last four years put a offroad suspension then took it off himself (jerry-rigged) he ran all the fluids bone dry... theres got to be something that i can do. when all he said was the ripped cv boot (easy 200 dollar fix) and its perfectly drivable when my mechanic said "thats not safe the power steering can go at anytime or the rear suspension might collapse !

Because of THIS:

...yes i did it without consulting a mechanic...

... the only thing you can do is enjoy your new truck. You have no recourse against the seller and no case to sue.

So you purchased a 13 year old truck that you knew a young person had modified and taken off road without having it inspected first?

Folks, you can't fix stupid.

However, I CAN tell you that this is not a lemon law issue. Enjoy your new car.
