you can sue them
Used cars are usually sold AS IS or with a 3 month Warranty. If your car came with a warranty, bring it to the attention of the Dealer. If the dealer refuses to replace your tires or provide you compensation for dry rotted tires, sue them in Small Claims court. If your car was sold AS IS with not warranty, you can still talk to the dealer about replacing the tires, but if the dealer refuses, you have no legal recourse. Moral of the Story: Always get a used car examined by a Mechanic prior to purchase.
No.
The recourse that a person has for dealer withholding pertinent information on a car purchase will depend on the state in which the sale of the flood damaged car took place. Each state has its own rules regarding the sale of motor vehicles.
you turn him in to police
You can usually return a faulty car back to the dealer, but to be repaired. You cannot return a car unless the dealer refuses to have it repaired.
Take it to a mechanic or appeal against the dealer.Other than that not much can be done. Check to see if your state has what they call "lemon laws"-many do and you may have some recourse there if no warranty came with it depending on what about the car may have been misrepresented. Also you can report them to the BBB if they are a member and if they are a larger dealership, might want to contact their corporate.
IF the dealer is acting as the banks agent(hired to repo), YES.IF you bought the car from that dealer, the dealer may have had "recourse" on the loan, so that he/she had to do the dirty work if you didnt pay. $124.00 is not the main question, how LONG has the $124.00 been in default??
Take the car back to the dealer and demand he repair the car so it will pass emissions tests. if he refuses, contact your State Attorney General.
You can just go to carfax.com and get a free carfax report for the used car you are buying. The dealer should have these reports. If he doesn't and refuses to check the carfax, then I wouldn't buy from that dealer.
From an Old English word, via Latin and ultimately Greek, for a trader, or dealer. It is usually used as a suffix, eg fishmonger, a dealer in fish.
You may have recourse with the selling dealer. I would give the seller an opportunity to fix it. If he refuses, then contact your state Atty. General. Ask him if the dealer is responsible for a car sold that cannot pass emissions. Also the emissions warranty on most cars is longer than the normal warranty. Look into all options before paying someone to fix it yourself. It needs to be scanned with an OBD2 scanner to find out why it will not pass, and what the problem is. The Check Engine Light should be on. If it isn't, see if the bulb is good, if not you may have been duped by the seller.
It doesn't matter where you are, "AS IS" means exactly that. You agreed to accept the car with absolutely no guarantees or recourse.
