USED CAR

CA. BUTTE CO. PURCHASED OLD CAR FROM LOT 72 TOYOTA 5 SPEED ON PAYMENTS. HE ASSURED ME IT WAS SOLID AND RELIEBLE. JUST LOOKING FOR AROUND TOWN CAR. 28 DAYS LATER THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. HE SAID BRING IT IN HE HAD A PARTS CAR AND WOULD PUT ANOTHER ONE IN. I'M THINKING NO COST TO ME. $ 200 TO GET THE CAR BACK. I JUST PUT NEW CARPET IN THE CAR, WHEN I PICKED IT UP THERE WERE GREASE STAINS ALL OVER THE CARPET, I HAD TO HAVE THEM WIPE THE DRIVER SIDE DOWN AS I WAS IN WORK CLOSTHE. I DROVE AWAY ON THE HWY TIME TO SHIFT TO 5 GEAR AND IT WOULD NOT GO. I CALL HIM FM WORK. OH I PUT A 4 SPEED IN THE CAR, IT THE SAME. NOT ONLY DID HE NOT TELL ME WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, I DID NOT AUTHRIZE HIM TO PUT A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR. NOW 8 DAYS LATER THAT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THIS TIME HE PUT A 5SPEED IN THE CAR THAT WAS LOOSE AND SLOPPY GRINDING THE GEARS WHEN YOU SHIFTED. HE WOULD NOT TAKE MY CALLS AFTER THIS TIME, AS OTHER ITEMS HE SAID HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF HE DIDN'T LIKE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD HAD A FILM THAT SUN SHINE YOU COULD NOT SEE. HE SAID IT WAS JUST FROM SITTING UNDER A TREE HE WOULD HAVE IT CLEANED. NEVER DID AND IT WAS THE AGE OF THE WINDSHIELD THE COATING HAD LIKED YELLOWED. WENT TO CAR WINDOW COMPANY NO WAY IT WOULD COME CLEAN. SO IT WAS A HAZORD TO DRIVE THE CAR. SHORTLY AFTER THAT LIKE 2MONTH THE FULE LINE CLOGED AND THE FUEL PUMP DIED.

I WENT THROUGH THE BETTER BUSSINESS BEAU ALL THE WAY TO A MEDITOR BUT HE WOULD NOT GO. SO I STILL HAD NO RESALOUTION TO THE PROBLEM. ALL I WANTED WAS MY MONEY BACK FROM THE PAYMENTS AND HE COULD HAVE THE CAR. AS OF THIS DATE I STILL OWN $400 ON THE CAR BUT WILL NOT PAY HIM ANY MORE THE CAR SITS AS IT HAS NOW FOR 10MOS OF THE 14MOS I HAD IT AND OF THAT IT WAS IN REPAIR WITH HIM FOR 1MO.

COULD I TAKE HIM TO COURT AND PLEAD MY CASE USING THE LEMON LAW? DOES IT APPLIE TO USED CAR? THIS GUY SAW ME COMING AND I TOOK HIS WORD AS TRUTH.

THANKS

The car is way to old for any lemon laws to help. The car was probably sold "as is" and the dealer did more than he had to by replacing the tranmissions. See if the dealer will take the car back and call everything even. It will cost you a lot more than the car will ever be worth to pursue the matter in court.
