2/27/09 I bought a 2001 intrepid. I was told that the engine leaked oil. I purchased the car for 2000 dollars from a dealership and it came sold as is and with no warranty. I went to check the engine out and test said i have transmission problems and some gear problems. Can i get my money back? or can i make them fix this for free or is the a lemon law case?
 
"As-is" means just that. You assumed full responsibility for any mechanical problems. To be fair, if the car seems to be driving properly then you can't expect the dealership to be aware of potential transmission problems unless they perform a full diagnostic on the vehicle, and if they did all that work then they'd have to charge more for their used cars and you wouldn't have gotten such a cheap price on it. Sometimes, you just get what you pay for.

Lemon laws only apply if there's a written warranty or if the dealer used deceptive practices.
 
Yes you should, don't talk to the BBB talk to the state Attorney General's office.
 
First start with the dealership and stress they lied. Also mention if repairs are not satisfactory you will be contacting the Better Business Bureau with the complaint under the lemon law.
 
No. You bought the car as is. Did they tell you nothing else was wrong with this car.* You do realize the transmission is attached to the engine.
 
Lemon Laws apply when you buy from a dealership and take the same vehicle back for the same problem 3 or more times.
