If there was a one year warranty on the car, you can explore the possibilities if they refused to cover it under the terms of the warranty; but otherwise, I doubt it.

you can try to do what you wish but honestly people who buy used cars think the dealer in entitled to whatever happens after the vehicle has been sold. The manufacture makes a warranty period for a reason. You should have had the option to purchase some type for warranty at the time of the vehicle purchase…obviously you chose not too. 1 year after the deal date is a little ridiculous. Try seeing if the dealer will offer some type of "good will" that works sometimes.

Hmm, next thing you want to know if you can file a law suit if the car broke down 4 years later. What happens to all the sue happy people on this site, is they are all dummies. They can google for the info instead of being lazy and asking. Then they never put the model or year down. If dealer sold you a 1987 ford and it breaks down 3 months later is different from selling a 2007 ford that breaks down 3 months later.

Lets have a moment of sanity here. The key words here are; used and one year later. First of all the expectation that the dealer should warrant a car longer than what the manufacturer specifies is absurd. That is what they sell extended warranties for. If the car had too many miles to qualify for an extended warranty you are on your own.
I would think that you should expend your time and energy getting the car repaired and to realize that things happen. There are no guarantees in life, so get past it and move on.

If you can find an attorney willing to do it, you can file a lawsuit against me if you want to. Your chances of winning such a suit on a used car sold to you "as is" that broke down a full year later would be slim.
You either did, or neglected to do, something that caused the break down during the 12 months, and the seller is not responsible for your actions.

No, that's why we have the saying, "may the buyer beware". Having a car break down a year of purchase is not that unusal, especially a used vehicle. Also, it likely was taged "as is", meaning, you get what you are looking at, if you don't have mechanical abilities, maybe you should take someone car shopping with you, that does.

It depends on the conditions of in what conditions you bought the car and the maintainans of the car like oil change and very important what was the milage of the car when you bought it and the milage when it broke down. Personally I dont find it fare after a year that who knows how that car was used.

do you mean used car? Do you mean one year later?
Ok - did it have a warranty or not? If so, what kind was it? Did it cover the part that broke down?
What happened to the car? Was it your fault? (for instance a lack of maintenance issue?)

Sure, this is America..... you can sue anyone, anytime you wish. But it doesn't mean you will prevail in court. I mean I could sue the mailman for delivering my mail late.... doesn't mean I will win.
In your case, you'll just be wasting time and money. You have 0 leg to stand on. All used cars are sold "AS-IS" and warranties must be in writing. If you don't have a 1 year warranty then don't waste the court's time.
