What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
I bought a 2000 Ford Windstar from a dealer for $5000 who offered a 50% 30 day warranty.
The car broke down after two weeks. It was so far away from the dealer when it broke down, I took it to my local mechanic and I spent $500 to fix it. He also told me that there was another problem which would cost an additional $500. The car broke down again a week later and I was forced to have it towed from the highway and spend money on the towing. The tow truck took the vehicle to the closest mechanic who then told me the car needed a new engine which would cost $5,000. The dealer told me I could return the car and walk away clean from the deal. I bought the car with $1000 and agreement to pay the balance of $4000 off over the next two years. However, the dealrer said I would not get my $1000 back hence I'm out of over 1600.
To date the car is still at the mechanic and he is waiting for someone to get the car off of his lot.
My question is can I get my money back and who is responsible for paying for the towing to get the car back to the dealer?
