shady deal

[fillmoho]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? massachusetts
I recently purchased a 1995 jeep on graigs list for $1100 The seller turned out to be a dealer! The day after I bought the vehicle I did the insurance and
registration thing.I took it for a sticker and the attendant noticed the cracked windsheild and said it would need to be replaced ,in which I did to the tune of $150 I then went back to the same station and started the proccess,needless to say it failed for numerous reasons not to mention he
noticed that the engine bracket that holds down the motor mount was non-
existant and the bolts that hold the bracket in were shearded off in the block
and in order to repair you would have to take the motor out redrill ,tap the
mounting holes to the tune of around $2000.00 The "dealer" claims he sold
the car as is as sold with no warranty or guarantee! Do I have any legal
rights?

A Massachusetts Consumer Guide:
The Used Vehicle Warranty Law

The Used Vehicle Warranty Law protects consumers who buy used vehicles from a dealer or private party in Massachusetts. (M.G.L. c. 90 §7N 1/4) The law requires dealers to provide consumers with a written warranty against defects that impair the vehicle’s use or safety, and requires private parties to disclose any known use or safety defects.

The Used Vehicle Warranty Law provides you with protections and remedies, including mandatory repairs, refunds, or repurchases. It does not cover all vehicles or all defects, and not all problems will qualify your vehicle for repurchase.

If you purchased a vehicle fewer than 14 days ago, the fastest way to get relief may be through the "Lemon Aid Law ."

Lemon Aid Law
The Massachusetts Lemon Aid Law allows you to void or cancel a motor vehicle contract or sale if your vehicle fails to pass inspection within seven days from the date of sale AND if the estimated costs of repairs of emissions or safety related defects exceed 10% of the purchase price. (M.G.L. c. 90 §7N) This law applies to both dealer and private party sales of cars and motorcycles purchased for personal or family use. Dealers must display your Lemon Aid rights by putting a sticker on the left front window of each used car at the time of delivery.
