What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alaska
I traded in a used car on the one I have now back in October- I asked about the sunroof as it was having an issue closing and the dealership told me that they would have it fixed no problem. I had them put this in writing, so naturally it did get fixed. But the repair took 52 days to complete. I've had the car back about 3 weeks now, so a little over 30 days in my possession. Since I've taken it back the heater, transmission, and front end have had issues that I've yet to get a quote on because I'm trying not to drive it before I decide to take any action.
The dealership I bought it from says all their cars in inspected- and AK state law says that used car dealers are required to do a reasonable inspection of the car, and if anything is found or suspected they must do an indepth inspection of the car.
I declined the offered service contract, on the grounds that the car was represented as being in good working condition and that the cost of the contract was prohibitive ($3000) vs paying for repairs on a car in good condition... but there is still an implied warranty according to the UCC that says the car must be free of serious defects at the time of sale.
Basically what I'm asking is that if I can take it to a mechanic and get a statement that says this car had/has defects, and wasn't reasonably inspected, do I have a good case to sue the dealership and get the car replaced/refunded/repaired?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
