dose anyone know about lemon laws for a used car sold as is in nc?

Question

please

Answer 1

Lemon laws in any state refer to new cars only. "As is" means exactly that. "As is"--no warranty as to condition. In other words, if you buy one "as is" and it falls into a million pieces as you leave the lot, you own all of the pieces and will continue to make payments until you have paid it off.

That is why every car lot allows and encourages you to have it checked by your mechanic. It's amazing the people asking questions here about "I bought it, and then my mechanic found it had a cracked block when I took it in for overheating..."

Obviously if the mechanic can find the problem after the fact, he could have also found it before the fact and you could have passed on the vehicle.

Answer 2

Unless there is an exception in NC state laws, Lemon Laws are state laws that are set-up to protect new car buyers. I've lived in several states and used cars are always sold with the federal window sticker that says "as-is, where-is". Therefore, unless they checked the warranty or warranty available boxes you have no protection.

If you just bought the vehicle, you can negotiate with a dealer. If the loan hasn't been funded yet, usually less than a week, call the bank direct and tell them your not paying for the vehicle. They will usually help you with the dealer.

If this was a private party sale, your just out there naked. Have the car inspected and decide if you should invest the $$$ or just take your lumps and sell it.
