What is the name of your state?Maine
I bought a 4 wheel drive from a used car dealer and he told me that it had a new motor. With 222k miles on the odometer I figured a new motor would get me far. I explained to him that I drive approx. 700 miles a week , I need something and someone dependable to stand behind it. He said "we only want happy customers". One week after I drove it off the lot, I brought it back to have the oxygen sensor, brakes, steering, exhaust and fuel pump checked. Obvious problems I could decipher. They told me nothing was wrong with the car. The fuel pump went on my way to work. He wanted to charge me $330 to fix it. Along with $100 to have it towed to his place. Needless to say, it doesn't have a new motor, the brakes have been replaced but the master cylinder is gone. I went off the road with my daughter in the car because the brakes didn't work. I've been told that since the warrenty is over, there is nothing I can do. I want the money back and am planning on sueing for punitive damages. Where do I stand?
