First – there is no lemon law on used cars
Second – if there was, it would not cover after-market wheels
Third – you bought the car with those wheels on it. Likely the dealer did not put them on, they got the car that way.
Fourth – it doesnt matter if you discovered the problem an hour after you bought it, or a month. You bought the car with those wheels, and the deal is done when you sign the contract.
Lastly – they don’t HAVE to pay for anything. The $300 gesture was more than a lot of dealers would do.
I havs seen numerous cars where owners or body shops have rolled the inside wheel arch to accomodate wheels. ITs actually an old hot-rodder trick. Its not the best possible solution, but it will work.
If you want different wheels, then take the $300 and put some of your cahs together and buy them. See ifyou can sell these to offest the purchase price. That way you should not get hurt too badly.
EDIT – That is not a lemon law warranty. It is aftermarket wheels. Aftermarket items are NEVER covered under any sort of lemon law. What you have there is a 30-day LIMITED warranty. Not a Lemon Law warranty. Read it. If it says anything about aftermarket wheel compatability being covered, I will eat a bug.
Lemon laws only pertain to new cars
Used cars are sold "As is – No Warranty". On a used car, any warranty has to be given to you in writing specifically stating what is covered and for how long.
If the dealer is willing to give you $300 towards new rims, take the money and run because he doesn’t have to give you anything.
Unless you can prove that the dealer gave you a warranty in writing, that would cover these rims, you would lose in court. The only one to make out would be your lawyer.
Lemon law usually doesn’t cover used cars plus you bought a modified car (aftermarket wheels).You are lucky he offered you any money for the wheels they don’t have to. So just take the $300. and by new wheels to fix it and move on. Dont have them roll the lip on the body that will cause rust in the future.
The lemon law only applies to new cars for the term of the warranty. the way it works is as follows; The car must be under a new car warranty, must be repaired for the same problem three times with in the warranty. If after the third time you still have the problem, then look in the owners manual and follow the directions as to how to start the lemon law process. You must have copies of all repair work to present as evidence, so keep all service work including regular maintenance schedule. write a sequence of events and keep good record of all you do and speak too. NOW THE USED CAR YOU PURCHASED. Did you buy as-is or did you write a warranty agreement with the person you purchase the car? If not it will be difficult to get anything from the previous owner.
No, aftermarket wheels/tires are not a factory defect, which is what lemon law protection is for. If the wheels were on the car when you bought it, ie: they didn’t switch them after the fact, it isn’t the sellers problem, it’s yours. You should have checked this out before you bought it, now it’s too late and YOU will have to pay to fix it.
A warranty would only cover mechanical issues and not aftermarket add on items like custom wheels. Rolling the lip of the wheel well is not a good idea. Any money they will give you toward new rims is a bonus. Take it and be grateful. Do have the tires inspected to make sure they are not damaged from contacting the body. For clarity…you have an extended warranty but the "lemon law" you keep mentioning does not apply to any used vehicle.
