How do lemon laws work in Cleveland Ohio?

Question

My sister lives in Cleveland and just bought a 1997 Cadillac, the same day she drove it off a lot it over heated and broke down, of course the dealer is giving her a hard time getting her money back, what can she do to push the dealer to get her money back with out retaining a lawyer?

Answer 1

Dottie R is right she may have to go to the news channels, the last thing the dealer wants is bad news about him on the tv.  

Answer 2

They both look like the same info, or page when you open the links but they aren't, read down a bit further, and like I said good luck!

Answer 3

used car, no lemon law.  she should have had your mechanic look at it before purchase.

Answer 4

Lemon laws only apply to new vehicles.  If your sister's purchase contract was for an "As Is" vehicle, she can only plead with the car dealer.  Or have her call Joe Pakonates (sp?) at Channel 5 TV news!
