A lemon law isn't valid on a 9-year old car. You're stuck with it.

Answer 3

contact the better business bureau about the company that sold it to you. see what options you have

Answer 4

Seriously, that's a bad situation. I would reccomend cleaning it out really well with a cleaner and making it look presentabe, then take it to car max just to see what you can get for it. You may be surprised at the result.

I'll pray for you and your situation. Just trust God and he'll do what is right.

Answer 5

Lemon law protects you! you can go back to the dealer and get a better car!

Answer 6

First, Lemon Law only applies to new vehicel, so that issue is out.

Second- Did the seller disclose to you when you bought that is was a flood vehicle?  If yes, you have nothing.  If NO, threaten them with a lawsuit.  How do you know the title was branded flood damage?

Katie is flat wrong-  Virginia Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act.

Summary of law-  If a consumer has tried unseccessfully to have a new vehicle repaired three or more times for the same significat problem,

See the word NEW?

Complete text of this law, see title 59.1, sections 207.11-207.16 of the code of Virginia.

As far as New Jersey- The law applies to NEW passenger vehicles since March 14, 1989.  New Jersey law states it, consumer after a reasonable number of attempts. 12 months or 12,000 miles.  For lemon law updates, Office of consumer protection, lemon law unit, PO box 45026, Newark, NJ  07101

Answer 7

I suggest contacting an attorney in the state where you bought the car. Find an attorney that specializes in sales fraud.  Provide evidence of flood title.

Answer 8

My suggestion is take it back to the dealer/manufacturer and perhaps take a lawyer with you. Because the dealer new first hand that something was wrong with the automobile you purchased and he saw you coming a mile away.

So, the next time you buy a new/or used vehicle ask for a car report and the make and where it was manufactured and the date / time. Odds are you will probably have to give it away to charity for cancer children to get around or if your lawyer is savvy in these kinds of lawsuit' you will ultimately be the winner.

Word, of the wise beware: "Of the devil who walks and talks in sheep' clothing".... Good luck and be very cautious with whatever you buy in the future ... TerrileeS./Paralegal in Criminal Justice and Child Support Court.

Answer 9

Pay it off or risk reposession in which the bank will garnish your wages.

Answer 10

Some states do have lemon laws even on used vehicles.  I know we do here in VA, so see if your state has any.  Otherwise, you may be out of luck.
