Did you have a warranty with the vehicle, or was it sold "AS-IS"? If you did have a warranty have you already past the time or mileage limit of the warranty?
If the car is out of warranty, or was sold as-is, then the dealer has no responsibility for the repairs. You will have to pay for them yourself.
The fact that you financed the car means nothing. That is a separate issue. You still have to make your payments.
Did you have the car checked out by your own mechanic prior to purchase? If not, why not?
Have the car repaired and pay for it!
Sorry!

Hi I'm afraid the expense is yours, not the dealers. Without wanting to state the obvious too blatantly, 1000 miles ago, the brakes had 1000 miles of wear left in them, which is enough to pass an inspection, and is therefore not a fault as such. Brake wear is not a warrantied commodity, it is normal wear and tear. Having said that, how about you ask as a good will gesture that the dealer go halfs with you on the repair or some such similar deal, its got to be worth a try? Very best regards Geordie

I take it that you are American, I'm a Brit, we are protected over here by a consumer Law which states that the Item brought must be fit for the purpose that it was sold, I.E you would expect a car purchased a month ago to be road worthy and in full working order. I'm sure that you have Consumer Laws of your own over there, Consult a Lawyer, get a Legal letter off to the Dealer threatening Legal action, and add the Lawyer's fee to what the Dealer owes you. I see a lot of your fellow Americans are talking about "as it", that doesn't work for car Dealers over here, they try "Sold as seen" but "caveat emptor"(Let the buyer beware) only applies to private sales. So we have a choice here, pay less money by a private sale but have no legal fall back, or pay extra via a Dealer and have Legal redress.

Just a repeat of the other answers here. The "as is" says it all, you may of gotten a valuable lesson. Always take any car to your mechanic and pay the $50 or so dollars to have a look see on it. Look into the lemon law and in some states the lemon aid law. Really. Also the mileage will play a factor in the lemon law.

Sorry to tell you, but it's an "as-is" purchase unless you got a warranty with it. Usually you have 3 days to break your contract, once that's up, there's nothing you can do.
You should take a vehicle you're thinking of buying to a trusted mechanic for a once-over check to make sure there's nothing seriously wrong with it.
You could call your better business bureau. It won't get you anything but some emotional satisfaction. If you really want to try, you can call the department of consumer protection and see if they can help you.

Sounds like you should have come to your friends here on Yahoo Answers because I would have told you that no used car comes with any type of guarantee. Just fix it. Seeing as you are stuck, you have no legal rights regarding a used vehicle. I bet if you look on the sales receipt, it states in little itty bitty print, "AS IS!" Sorry for your bad luck. Maybe you can find a sucker like yourself to buy it. Sorry if the truth hurtd, but there it is.

Call the better business bureau in you location and report them. Possibly research lemon laws in your state. Call the manufacturer and report the dealer. Don't just let is go, you are pauing good money for a product. Be sure you keep you payments up though, you don't want to have it go on your credit.

Check your paperwork for it. Did you buy it "as-is"? Did you get a limited warranty with it? If you bought it "as-is" then the problems are your's to deal with. If it had a limited warranty how long was it? Also what did it cover?
