Cars, etc.

[Tatari Gami]

Now you just apply it to what you think or hope or know the law to be.

You said earlier that you bought the car with 31K miles. Occams Razer posted a link, http://www.oag.state.ny.us/consumer/cars/usedqa.html that says that the lemon law in New York on a car sold with 18,001 to 36,000 miles lasts for 90 days or 4,000 miles. That's pretty good. You should really read everything in that link. It has all the info you need.

I notice that if you choose court rather than arbitration, you can recover reasonable attorneys fees. This is also good. If you have a really good case, with all the info already put down on paper (timeline, receipts, warranties, etc), you may be able to get an attorney to take the case on spec. Call your local bar association for a referral.

Question becomes, what did you do within those 90 days or 4,000 miles to alert the dealer to the problem. If you did anything to let the dealer know about the recurring problem within that period, then you should be fine.

You usually have to give the dealer the option of fixing the problem. I think you said you have been back five times. That's probably enough.
