lets see 1. dont ever buy a car with out a warenty unless u have a trusted mechanic look at it firts. 2. have the engine rebuilt. 3. buy a new engine or rebuilt engine. 4. buy a new car. 4 file suit for a bad car and try to get the saler to pay for it. alot of this will also depens on where u bought it how long ago u bought it and how old the car is and if it is your fault or some one elses fault. good luck i have had 2 engines blow on me because of bad mechanics and had to pay for new engines.
You have no options. You made the purchase with no warranty. Now in some cases the dealer, if you bought it from one, will sometimes extend a “helping hand” if you just got it. But usually where there is no warranty, you are on your own. Lemon laws apply only to new vehicles, not used vehicles.
I agree with David–except you do, in Texas, have the ability to lemon law a used car as long as it is under the manufacturer’s limited new vehicle warranty when the problem occurs. However, his state may be different.
If the vehicle was purchased from a private party then the law reads that all sells are considered an “AS-IS” sell.
If you purchased from a dealer most of the time you will have some type of warranty from 5 days or 500 miles to 30 days or 3000 miles and most of these warranties cover only the drive-train which in your case you are covered.
You can also check with the manufacturer and see if there are any type of recalls or bulletins for your vehicle and the reason I say to check with the manufacture is because that will have all current information.
Lastly you could take them to court but lets say that this was an “AS-IS” sell you would loose.
I would recommend that if all fails contact your local news and tell them the story after you have spoken to the dealer, sometimes this starts a fire under the dealers **** and they may assist you.
all depends on where you live and where you bought the car. private sale or dealer? contact your local motor vehicle dept they will be better able to help you
1st theres no lemon law on used cars, you have a grace period on every contract you enter, you probably financed the car, check with finance company, even with no warranty you have a certain amount of time to cancel the contract by law. Some are just 24 hours and some are 6 months, check with the finance company and retain a copy of papers you signed, then get an attorney to explain them to you, if your within your grace period finance company will back you.
You can look at lemon laws but you have to have all the documentatoion of trying to have it serviced before it blew. Other than that, WHYD YOU BUY A CAR WITH NO WARRANTY?

There are still lemon laws. Depends on where you live. Some laws have stipulations on time since purchase and on miles driven since purchase.
