I paid for the automobile (1996 bmw 318ti) with 84,000 miles upon it about 3 weeks ago. The automobile has no heat, leaking anti freeze, the airbag light is on, as well as it idles rough. The play which we paid for it from told me which he would repair the feverishness as well as all alternative problems when we move it which following weekend.
Well, we paid for it behind 3 weekends in the quarrel as well as the feverishness isn’t bound or any of the alternative problems! The breeze chill in NY is seventeen degrees this week as well as we have the 3 year aged who is freezing. He keeps creation excuses (the partial is not in, or the partial is entrance in, or the tough to fix)
What can we do to shock him the bit as well as have certain my automobile gets bound this weekend. P.S.- My BMW 2 year fender to fender guaranty only kicked in this week.
Thanks

This is a common problem whenever you purchase from a used car lot and not a dealership. BMW dealers offer a used car garantee which states the cars are 100% inspected on a 100 points of the car or more. You can try going to a lawyer who specializes in this common automotive law such as lemon laws. Usually the 1st visit is free. It is possible that you can scare a used car repair into doing all te repairs for you, but i dont think it will last. he just may call the bluff, so retain the lawyer and see if you can sue the dealer into paying all your attourneys fees and court costs if it goes this far. This can be a long drawn out process, especially if the car was purchased "As IS".
I wish you luck………
PS.. If you do have a warantee from BMW, take the car to them, ask to save all the parts just in case. But if BMW repairs the car at no cost, then i wouldnt worry about it and take it as a lesson learned. And, it is also cold here in Nj as well.
good luck
You are quialified for a Lemon Law thing, if anything happens that is preventing you to drive. Heater problems also qualify as well, and steering & breaking problems, and leaks.
about the other part, he seems like a mean dealer =
good luck.!
No, you are not. Looks like the lemon law in N.Y. only covers NEW vehicles, but please fully read this and it may help you.
No lemon law on used cars. But you could contact a lawyer or take him to small claims court. Or both. I hope that you have everything in writing. Word of mouth, he said, she said, is tough to prove in court. If this a private seller you’ll have less chance than if it is a used car lot. They don’t want the bad publicity, but the private seller doesn’t care about that. Good luck.
No – lemon laws only pretend to New Vehicle’s. However, every state has a Department of Motor Vehicle, and within that branch of government they have a consumer complaint department which will either get the seller to repair/replace the vehicle or if the seller refuses to comply with the DMV they usually close them down til after they report to a court and trial date for failure to comply with state laws governing sale of junk vehicles as serviceable vehicles. Contact your State DMV or DPS consumer division. sometime when you just mention your intent to the sales company/car lot they get things done. But, make sure you follow thru or they can hit you for treats.. Best thing is to just contact the State Consumer Affairs as indicated above.
No you do not qualify for the lemon law. The NY state lemon law only covers new automobiles. You can find information about NY lemon laws here: http://www.oag.state.ny.us/consumer/cars/newcarlemon.html
If there isn’t anything on your bill of sale stating what is covered under a warranty and for how long then you are out of luck (unless it is a safety issue) I do not know what, if any, safety items must be functioning properly in the state of New York in order to sell a vehicle. Where I live one of the safety items that is checked is that the vehicle must blow warm air onto the windshield (defroster setting) in order to clear the windshield of frost. This vehicle obviously will not do that.
yes there is a lemon law in some states,but it depends,on how you bought the car.did you buy it (as is)or did they put a wattanty on it.if it has a warrenty on it then you got him,but if you bought it (as is)then your responsible for fixing it.without the warranty,his word is just as good as yours.good luck.
