2000 Cougar & Dumb Son

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? NY

Hello:

My son bought a 2000 Mercury Cougar from a private owner for approximately, $6,000.
After a short time (week or so) it wouldn't start. A mechanic stated to us that, this particular year of the Mercury Cougar is basically a lemon. It is know for many factory born faults.
One of them is the starting problem we are now encountering.
I think the people my son purchased the car from knew this was a raw deal.
What recourse do I have, if any?
Regards,

You have no recourse. You didn't buy the vehicle. Tell your son to Google "caveat emptor"

How old is your son?

Unless your son is under 18 (and you didn't co-sign), he has bought himself a car. A good car? That's debatable. But he owns it lock, stock, and sitting-in-front-of-the-house-looking-ugly barrel.

How old is my dummy

Thanks for the responses folks.
He's 19 and dumber than a bag a dirt!

Actually, he's 19, dumber than a bag of dirt, YOUR son and the proud owner of a piece of crap.

Just have him get together with his friends for a weekend mod party. I'm sure it will run better with a 3" fart-can exhaust, some neon lights underneath, and a big piece of sheetmetal bolted to the rear deck.
