I may be sol..But i hope not..

What is the name of your state? ME

I recently traded my car in to a small local dealership. They gave me a good trade in value on it, and i then financed the additional 3500 dollars for a 96 chevy blazer. The dealer warranteed the vehicle for 60 days all inclusive on the engine (which had been re-built just before the sale), and the transmission.
2 days after purchase, i drove the vehicle for 10 miles or so when fuel started gushing out of the engine. I almost caught an entire gas station on fire, but luckily, i was able to wash the fuel off the exhaust before it could catch fire. Dealer repaired "loose"fuel line after 5 days, and said it was all set.
When i picked the vehicle up it was running poorly, and it was determined i would wait 1 more day until he could have it fixed.
It has now been over a week, and looks to be at least 7 to 10 more days until repair because he has to take the motor apart again.
By the time i get the vehicle back, my 14 day plates will have expired, and a good portion of my warranty period will be gone also.
This jerk was even hauling his rotten trash in the truck, and driving it for personal use, even though it wasn't running right.
I have informed him(within 5 days) that i would like to just trade back, but he is unwilling, and im afraid these repairs won't be done correctly.
After truly seeing his poor service, and bad judgement, i want no part of this vehicle. Do i have any options?
ALso, this dealer tried to convince me to sign papers that we were doing an even trade, so he would save money on something or other.. I need some real help here..Thanks.

"After truly seeing his poor service, and bad judgement, i want no part of this vehicle. Do i have any options?"
*** Yep. You can send the dealer a demand letter (certified RRR) including the following:
- asking for a FIRM committment on when your vehicle will be returned to you in 'good operating condition', include that if no date is set, you are putting him on notice that you will pick up the vehicle in 14 days.
- that in the event the vehicle is not operable, you will be forced to take it to another mechanic for proper repairs and that you will forward the bill for same to him with payment expected within 5 days of receipt.
- finally, include that if he doesn't pay the bill within the allowed time, you will pursue legal remedy to recover your damages caused by his breach of contract.

Then, see what happens.... and handle accordingly.

*** Not relevant.

"Thanks."
*** You're welcome.

Another very good resource. I appreciate greatly you taking the time to reply so promptly. Too bad you dont live in maine, i may need some future legal advise on this one if he continues at this pace. Thumbs up for the help.
