I am seeking for report per a private-party sale of a used automobile in California. The sale does not engage a dealer, it is by a personal ad in a paper. What have been a mandate for a condition of a vehicle? What is a buyer’s chance if a car is defective?

California’s "Lemon Law" only applies to new cars purchased from a dealer. Buying a used car in California is "Caveat Emptor" or "Let the buyer beware". What this means is that you make the choice to buy or not, no one is forcing you to do anything. Have the vehicle inspected, if the seller won’t allow this, don’t buy the car. There are no laws protecting the buyer in a private party sale. A dealer on the other hand is required by law to ensure that their used cars are at least safe to operate.
you have the rights to repair the car at any place you want really if you buy a used car off the street your buying as is and should have check it before buying it sorry most lemon laws are for new cars an d dealers
you learn how to check a used car type how to check used car get a check list and follow it sorry not much you can do about it unless you got some kind of paper work saying if you didnt like it you can return it your out of luck
Maybe you need a new car.
I found a nice list of California car dealers. I think someone in your hometown can help assist you. http://www.localnewcar.com/California-New-Cars.html Just call one of them or drop by one day when you are not busy. Many car dealers can even arrange a test drive.
You had the chance to get the car looked over by a professional before buying.
That was your recourse BEFORE completing the transaction.
