usually you ahve 3 days, which you have exceeded, unless oregon has some absurdly long time, which is highly doubtful that you are still protected. you bought the car used, took a gamble, and there really isn’t much for you to do.
there’s no lemon law on a 16 year old vehicle, All vehicles that old have some problems, that’s why used cars get cheaper the older they get.
My question for you is how much did you pay for this thing that you are making payments? the car isn’t worth that much.
Anyway, there really isn’t anything you can do other than pay to get it fixed. It’s your car now, its not the responsibility of the previous owner to pay for your repairs. Its still cheaper than a newer vehicle though.
Lemon laws apply to new, not used, cars.
Did you get a warranty on your 16 year old used car? If not, you bought it as is, and any repairs needed after you take delivery would be your responsibility. And your neighbor can’t tow your vehicle in Oregon unless he happens to be a towing company, it’s against the law.
Even if you did have a new car, you wouldn’t be under lemon law yet…
Oregon lemon law
United States car lemon laws were enacted to protect consumers against buying defective, unrepairable vehicles. The major automobile manufacturers mass-produce their products, and generally the quality control is very good. However, when you connect more than a few parts together, you have a chance for a lemon.
What is a lemon car? A lemon or lemon car is an automobile that has a defect that cannot be repaired by the consumer after a reasonable number of attempts. Alternately, if the car has been in a repair garage for 30 calendar days or more for repairs on the same defect, it may also be classified as a lemon car.
Go find a real mechanic, not a big box store, and find out what is wrong and how much it will cost you to fix it, and fix it. In the mean time don’t miss a payment.
Obviously it hasn’t been in as a new vehicle for the same repair more than 3 times…so…
This isn’t a lemon; it’s buyer’s remorse because it’s not running after 6 weeks of use. The previous owner probably had no more clue this was going to happen than you did if you haven’t noticed something amiss over that period of time.
If I had to guess, I’d say you need a new radiator, but to have it "pour" out the bottom is perplexing. I googled "coolant pours out" and found a possible cause being hose disconnected. How do you "know" it’s not a hose?
Good luck; car repairs are obnoxious, inconvenient, and expensive.

The lemon law only applies to new cars, not used. Unfortunatley you will have to eat the cost of repairs. however if you purchased an extended warranty from the dealer you would have some coverage, but on a 1991 I would seriously doubt it. If you live in the portland area, I would reccommend a auto shop that is pretty good. They are located in Clackamas, off of hwy 212 and 122nd and it is called 212 auto. Good luck
