Some states have a 15-day / 500 mile implied warranty on used cars, so it sounds like you were just out of that. Lemon Laws are for new car purchases so it wouldn't apply to your used car purchase. Did you purchase from a dealer or private party? If it was from a dealer I would contact them and see if they will do anything...even if it is to make a deal on the price of the repairs. Is it out of the powertrain warranty (that is what would cover the transmission)? If it is a private party, unfortunately used cars are sold 'as is.'

I bet they are going to tell you it was "as is". There is a Lemon Law, but for some reason I'm thinking that is only for new cars. Have you thought about asking a lawyer, he would know the laws in your state. Good luck.

Most states have what is called a "Lemon Law." Look up the lemon law and what the stipulations for your state are. 17 days into a car purchase should be short enough to be able to return it and get a refund.

only if u negotiated a warranty or guarantee from the seller. usually a reputable car dealer will have at least 30 days. but chances are someone dumped their problems on u.good luck

As Twisted_Ace said plus by law the garage MUST give you a basic warranty with the car. Forget the repairs and "reject" the vehicle and get your money back (in full) as it should not have been sold to you in that state.

i own a repair shop,and no,,there is no protection against used cars,, there usually sold as is,and there's no warranty on them at all unless you pay for one,,basically you are stuck with it,unless it came from a car lot,and they agree to help you repair it,,other wise ,just get ready to have it repaired,it happens to all of us at one time or another,i have had my fair share of lemons,and im sure i,ll get a few more sometime,,but just have it fixed ,and drive it,,that's all you can do ,,good luck,i hope this help,s..have a good x-mas.

Sorry I can't think of anyone that does not sell (AS IS) when they sell a car not even a dealer. Had it been the same day may be. This is called buyer's remorse.

BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DID YOU TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE BEFORE U BOUGHT IT? IF SO YOU SHOULD HAVE NOTICE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION.
UNLESS THERE WERE SOME KIND OF WRITTEN AGREEMENT I THINK THERE IS A VERY SLIM CHANCE OF GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK.

check your local laws but most of the time when you buy from a private individual, your S.O.L.
