Okay the papers were signed (contract) 7-3-07, and on 7-6-2007 it started having problems with it. They told me it was in good condition and had nothing wrong with it. It is turning out to be a lemon, but I (roommate) am under contract. Thank God it's still under factory warranty. Isn't there a law that forbids dealers from selling lemons without first telling the person that the auto has problems?

If it is a used car most of them are "as is". If it is a new car then yes it would be covered under the lemon law, but it is a long drawn out process. You might want to consult an attorney that deals with the lemon law.

If the car was a used car, the Lemon Law does not apply.

In the state of TX, a used car dealership does not have to offer a warranty of any kind. If they do offer one, it is typically one that will cover the motor, transmission, and differential for up to 3000 miles. Most do not offer them. If you bought a used car, typically the rule of thumb is that you are buying someone else's problems. If the car did not have a warranty, that means you purchased it "AS IS", and have no recourse. Maybe you could try to compromise with them to get them to repair it, ie paying for half??

The lemon law only applies to new cars. If you bought a used car and took it "as is" you have problems.

Depends on the state you are in. Take it to another shop to get confirmation of the problems they deny then take them to court for the costs.
