My daughter-in-law paid for a used Tahoe in Minnesota as well as during a used automobile dealers lot,the window would not hurl up, a lady pronounced which it was only froze.It did hurl up prior to you left.Now 2 weeks after it was purchased,she needs a engine for a window,also it needs points as well as plugs as well as a brand new alternator.My subject is,does a seller during a lot have to be probable for these as well as does Mn have a law which states which a customer has thirty days after squeeze to take these issues to a seller?

If the vehicle was sold "as is" you have no recourse. The best thing is to talk with the dealer and see if he will do anything. If not there is small claims court.
No.
If you had looked up Lemon Law; you would have seen that it very specifically does not cover any sales from private sellers, or any vehicles sold from a dealer with "As-is" condition.
Since you bought it as-is, and you didn’t bother taking it to a mechanic to get it inspected before the purchase like you should have……the dealer is not responsible in the slightest.
Key things: Always get a Carfax. ALWAYS have a third party mechanic inspect the vehicle. And from a dealership, always ask for some type of limited warranty.
But, as it is, he’s free and clear, and you’re stuck with the car.
NO state has such a law. If the salesman said the window worked and it doesnt, you may be able to get him to replace the motor. Talk directly to the owner of the dealership and relate your conversation with the salesperson.
Points, plugs and alternator are all on you to replace. None of those items suddenly fail. If you had taken the truck to a mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection, these problems would have shown up. Since you didnt do that, you accept the vehicle AS IS with all its problems.
No, lemon laws protect the buyers of new vehicles from serious, recurring defects. What you’re describing is normal vehicle maintenance. Used vehicles are sold "as is" and any and all repairs are the responsibility of the buyer. Your daughter in law had the opportunity to inspect the vehicle before buying it, and that’s what she should have done.
Some states have a lemon law. Connecticut is one of them. Their law states that a car having less than 100,000 miles can be brought back to the dealer within 30 days (I might need to be corrected on the days) if there is a problem. If the problem persists then the dealer may have to refund your money or replace the car. These laws may not apply to private sellers and beware of that ‘as is’ clause. If the car has over 100,000 miles then it’s best to get an agreement from the dealer that the car has had an inspection and is likely to be trouble free for atleast 30 days. But that is not a law and the dealer doesn’t have to agree to do that.
Sorry, but no. Used car purchases are considered "Caveat Emptor" or "Let the buyer beware". Basically it means that you had the opportunity to verify the condition of the vehicle before you bought it, and should have done so. In this case, I would appeal to the higher mucky-mucks at the dealership, they should repair the window, but the other stuff you mention is routine maintenance wear and tear kinda things, you’re on your own there.
Always, ALWAYS tell the seller of a used car that you would like to have it inspected by an independent mechanic, if they decline, run. If they don’t mind, do it, it’ll be a well spent hundred bucks or so.
Your D-I-L laerned a valuable lesson.
That being that she’s no car expert and she should not be doing this on her own.
Ooops.
Most cheap cars are sold "as is" and that is what it means.
Satisfy yourself before you buy it.
I am not aware of any states that give you 30 days for anything.
And if any states did have such laws, chances are you would pay $500-1500 more for every car because of it.
Dealers buy cars at auction with a green light, which usually means no major problems. A window not rolling up is not a major problem. Do you need transportation or bells and whistles ?
