I live in NY state. I bought a 1993 Chrysler Lebaron for my daughter with 134,000 miles from a dealer. The transmition is already going after 1 week! I understand there is no formal lemon law after 100,000 miles.

Lemon Law (by its true definition) only applies to brand new vehicles. Even on brand new vehicles, the lemon law is very difficult to prove.

You need to have the same problem 3 times in a row caused by the same defective part each time.

Mechanics know a way around that though. Everytime you take the car for the same service they can give you a line of BS of how it wasn't the same diagnosis.

Warranties and Lemon Law rules vary from state to state. In CA, the dealer cannot write an EXTENDED WARRANTY that will take the car over 100,000 miles. Some states may not know this, but if they do write an extended warranty, it may be so costly, that you would be better off not even making a claim against it. Most CA dealers will offer a 30 day warranty which usually has a 1000 mile clause, but the used car warranty usually specifies the customer gets to pay half, or 50%, of the repair bill, REGARDLESS, the customer loses.

I think the lemmon law only applies to new vehicles, when you buy a used vehicle it usually says on the dealers sticker sold as is or 30 day warranty.
