my brother in law bought a car in mexico(we live close to the border). he bought it from a man that has an american car license that supposedly they sale cars in texas but they found that the car was sold to them is not that safe.the motor is lower than the usual and the supports of the car are not good.he wants to know his rights with the lemon law,because when he bought the car he didnt kow anything about this,the guy is working for a tx. car lot that came out to be a junkyard and they buy the cars at auctions and repair them and sell them here in tx.but none of ths was told to him and he wants his money back and this guy wont give it to him.he wrote a letter saying that he was going to return the car and that he would give him the money back and the guy signed it but he didnt cuz the guy wrote something of his own on the paper ad he did not agree with it.can he press charges on the guy or what can he do.the lot is listed under car sales and when u call its a junkyard.

Let this be a good lesson to your brother-in-law! Next time, never buy a used car that says "sold as is" or with very limited warranty without checking out the car for yourself or with aid of a trusted mechanic. Always remember that sales people are usually out to sell and will attempt to sell anything they can for the commission!

If he bought the car in Mexico, he probably has no lemon law rights. If the sale had been in Texas, he might have some rights, but they may be limited by many factors, like the mileage or any written or implied warranties. The biggest problem is having purcahsed it in Mexico where I assume the dealer does a lot of business to avois the Texas lemon laws.

Every state has different lemon laws. I think if you bought the car used and it has over 100,000 miles, you don't have a leg to stand on. You said you bought the car in Mexico though....I would think that cancels American law?

To the best of my knowledge, there are NO "lemon laws" in MEXICO. It doesn't matter where the car is licensed - only where you PURCHASED it...

I would threaten the dealer that if he does not return money than you will picket in front of the dealer every weekend till they have no customers
