Re: a bad purchase

It depends on what the warranty says and what your contract says. If you purchased the car "as is", you will have no recourse against the dealer unless they made a written misrepresentation to you. Whoever issued the warranty may or may not be liable for repairs, and you may have claims under the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act which provides that the prevailing party is entitled to attorney's fees. Please call me if you have any further questions (205) 254-3927.
