[QUOTE="cpwolf, post: 429608, member: 19674"] Lemon law isn't something that is a part of the contract, I don't believe, but hell I never read a dealership contract. In your state, Virginia, that statute will have more informaiton. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.oag.state.va.us/consumer-protection/15-tips/158-lemon-law[/URL] I don't know Virginia, but in Texas, you can get out of a contract I believe 48 hours...that's gone....so, you have the Jeep. I didn't read that law, but most places the "Lemon Law" is on new cars, and is very, very limited on Used Cars. So, before you go ballistic (which I would be by the way, and have to try not to be) go in and talk to the dealer. I would say this: "Listen, someone got this Jeep ready to roll....enough to get off the lot and break down. I happen to just leave it here, so it seems painfully obvious either it's the worst luck in the world, or that's what happened. I want to work with you, I just want a Jeep that runs top notch....which is how you represented it. You have a shop and staff mechanics. Our choices are this: 1. You do the right thing by your customer, me, and have your staff mechanics do a thorough run down and get the underlying issues fixed. I'll say okay, and be a happy client. OR..... 2. Unfortunately, and I don't want to but I now own this Jeep, I'm going to have to get representation, it'll waste everyone's time, get ugly, and it'll be public. I don't want that....at all. You don't want that, and you don't want this kind of detailed review, this kind of information filed with the Attorney General, Better Business Bureau etc. The fact is, since I literally bought it, parked it....here, and then a week later it won't run, there's no way for anyone to say "they drove it hard, or did something malicious". So I've got a good case...and more than that a good story, and I'd rather that story be "There was an issue, and that dealer really stepped up, and took care of me, they are a top notch dealer." If you ever saw the movie Road House you'll know "And be nice" (If you haven't, you need to rent it, it's a cheesy classic good to this day). Don't get into an ugly arguing match, it rarely if ever helps no matter how pissed you are. [/QUOTE]
