I live in NY state. we paid for the 1993 Chrysler Lebaron for my daughter with 134,000 miles from the dealer. The transmition is already starting after 1 week! we assimilate there is no grave lemon law after 100,000 miles.

Lemon Law (by its true definition) only applies to brand new vehicles. Even on brand new vehicles, the lemon law is very difficult to prove.

You need to have the same problem 3 times in a row caused by the same defective part each time.

Mechanics know a way around that though. Everytime you take the car for the same service they can give you a line of BS of how it wasn’t the same diagnosis.

no. should of done your homework. everyone knows chrysler, specially older ones all have transmission problems. and the lebaron is one of the worst cars on the road. Its a miracle the car even still ran with that miles.

hate to say it but all you can do is shop around better next time.

if you were gashed by a scam er do yourself a favour go to the cops and have them run the numbers, my bet is it has been in an accident if not its a hot if they screwed you give it back through the cop shop.
these guys are so bad they need this to come down on them all the time. good luck keep in touch interested in this crap.

Warranties and Lemon Law rules vary from state to state. In CA, the dealer cannot write an EXTENDED WARRANTY that will take the car over 100,000 miles. Some states may not know this, but if they do write an extended warranty, it may be so costly, that you would be better off not even making a claim against it. Most CA dealers will offer a 30 day warranty which usually has a 1000 mile clause, but the used car warranty usually specifies the customer gets to pay half, or 50%, of the repair bill, REGARDLESS, the customer loses.

I think the lemmon law only applies to new vehicles, when you buy a used vehicle it usually says on the dealers sticker sold as is or 30 day warranty.
