What is the name of your state? Massachusetts.
On Nov 20th I bought a car from a dealership, 92 Ford Explorer with 175,000 miles on it. Payed 1,500. When I stopped at the lot originally I was looking at a truck. After a test drive I thought it was no good. I spoke with the dealer and he asked what I was looking for. I told them I am planning to drive to Florida with a 23' boat I bought and so I needed something that could tow but the truck was no good. He mentioned one of the Explorers on the lot, telling me that should do the job just fine. I took it for a test drive and it seemed fine, so I decided to go with it.
The day after I bought the car, the brake line busted. Since I was leaving in a few days, rather than contacting them, I fixed it myself and bought new brake lines. Thank god for AAA for the tow. I left for FLA on Sat and 400 miles later my transmission starts acting up on I-95. I pull on the off ramp to some town and the car basically is done. I get out and fluid from the transmission is being poured everywhere. Since then I have been staying in a motel and talked to a transmission guy in Maryland (where I'm stuck) who says the whole transmission is gone and it will cost 1200. I am going to call the dealership tommorow about this but I am confused if I even have any coverage.
Windows sign stated Limited Warranty, but I never received a copy so I am not sure what it entails. As far as my understanding goes, Mass. Lemon Law only covers a vehicle if it is over $600 and under 120,000 miles. Does any one know if I am just **** out of luck or does somehow an "Implied Warranty of Merchantibility" cover this? The dealership implied this vehicle would perform as such and since the car has failed and I haven't even owned it two weeks. I just don't want to call and think I know what I am talking about to hear him say "Screw you".
Please contact me at [email protected] ASAP if you have any information for me????? THANKS ahead of time
