Even if you purchased a vehicle "as is", it must be usable for the purpose purchased. You have three days under the lemon law to return a vehicle not usable.

The Lemon law only applies to new cars, but otherwise Ms. Lucas is correct. Even if you buy it as is, you have a right to expect at least a minimum of use out of the product.
