Car Lemon Law

Question by I’m Country: New York Lemon Law applying to private sale cars…?
This may have been asked an answered, but I couldn’t find it. A week ago yesterday my fiance bought me a 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I looked at it quick and just told him that it looked like an okay enough car to me, he looked at it 3 times before handing over the money to the previous owner, but he apparently missed some key things. He had me take it to a mechanic today to have an oil change and to have the front lug studs looked at because a few of the lug nuts were missing and he wanted to make sure the studs were okay before new lug nuts were put on it… anyway… according to the mechanic the cat has been taken off, which is needed to pass inspection next year, the front breaks are at less than 25%, it needs new rear drum breaks, the tires are dry and cracking on the inside, and its supposed to be all time 4 wheel drive, but there is no 4×4 drive shaft. The guy we bought it from told my fiance that the breaks were new, and so were the tires, that the A/C works, which it doesn’t, not really a big deal though, and that the 4 wheel works, which it obviously doesn’t. I tried to tell my fiance the first time I got behind the wheel that it didn’t, but he told me that it had to because the guy told him that it did… and yes, my fiance is one of those overly trusting people. The mechanic told me I should have my fiance return it. I told him that I didn’t think I could because it was a private sale. He told me that it doesn’t matter, that the lemon law applies to a private sale car that cost more than $ 1000, and that he’s had to fight it for customers before in court and won. We spent $ 1400. I’ve looked high and low on the internet, but everything I find tells me something different. Does anyone know of a clause in the Lemon Law that allows for private party sales, or of a good website where I can find real info? Even the DMV website confused me. Thanks in advance for the help.
Thanks… I didn’t think it applied to used, private party cars. And yes, the bill of sale does say as is. I know I should have had him have a mechanic look at it prior, but like I said, he’s overly trusting… I on the other hand am not.
Peter Griffin… I agree 100% with your Chrysler comment. I told him that it was an “okay looking” car, but I had told him in the past no more Chrysler. He had a 95 Neon that the computer went in 3 times in 2 years and a 97 Intrepid that there was oil in one day, and none the next, with no spots on the drive. I really wanted another Ford. I had a 91 Ranger that had 250,000 miles on it when I sold it, and a 93 Taurus that had 299,503 miles on it when I took it off the road due to the bottom rotting out, engine is still great (another cheap car like your Honda, I paid $ 600 for it).

Thanks again to everyone. I thought I was right, its nice to know I am.
ElGrande… I don’t know why everyone got thumbs down, as far as I’m concerned, they’re all right. It was the mechanic that the Lemon Law applies to cars that cost over $ 1000, but you’re right, there would be way too many filings if it did. Like I said somewhere up there I wanted to take it to a mechanic before hand, I always want to take my cars to mechanics before hand, but he doens’t like to, for whatever reason. Maybe he’ll learn his lesson. This is the second time it happened to him. He bought a 00 Sportage in January that got a vacuum leak in it the day after he brought it home, and the 2 front callipers basically fell apart a week later.
I didn’t necessarily want to return it, it’ll still be fun to go mudding with til the inspection exprires next year, I just wanted to know if the Lemon Law actually applied to private party sales, cause I had never heard of it. Like everyone has said, I thought private party sales were “as is”.

Name The name of the city is a phonetic contraction of Sant’Eremo di San Romolo, which refers to Romulus of Genoa, the successor to Syrus of Genoa. In Ligurian his name is San Rmu. The spelling San Remo is on all ancient maps of Liguria, the ancient Republic of Genoa, Italy in the Middle Ages, the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Kingdom of Italy. It was used in 1924 in official documents during Fascism. History Sanremo postcard from the 1920s. Once the Roman settlement of Matutia’or Villa Matutiana, Sanremo expanded in the Early Middle Ages when the population moved to the high grounds and built a castle and the walled village of La Pigna to protect the town from Saracen raids. At first subjected to the countship of Ventimiglia, it later passed under the dominion of the Genoese bishops, who in 1297 sold it to the Doria and De Mari families. It became a free town in the second half of the 15th century and spread on the Pigna hill and at Saint Syrus Cathedral. The almost perfectly preserved old village remains. Sanremo remained independent from Genoa for a long time, and in 1753, after 20 years of fierce conflicts, it rose against the hegemonical attempts of the Genoese Republic. At that time that the latter built the fortress of Santa Tecla situated on the beach near the port. The fortress was used as a prison until 2002, and is now being transformed into a museum. After the French domination and the Savoy restoration (1814), Sanremo was annexed to the Kingdom of Sardinia. The town saw a rapid growth since the middle 18th century with the development of tourism: the first Grand Hotels were built and the town extended along the coast. Notable people such as the Empress Elisabeth of Austria “Sissi”, Czar Nicholas II of Russia, Alfred Nobel, Italo Calvino and the Empress Maria Alexandrovna stayed here. Economy Sanremo Municipal Casino. Sanremo enjoys special weather conditions throughout the year due to its vicinity to the Mediterranean Sea and the presence of Maritime Alps right behind the town, Monte Bignone, the highest peak, being some 1,300 m above the sea level. So the town shows a climate that is often described as one of ‘perpetual spring’, with warm days and chilly nights and little variation of temperature around the year. These conditions make Sanremo one of the most attractive tourist destinations on the Italian Riviera. There are plenty of tourist attractions open year-round and it has numerous and well-equipped sports facilities, such as a golf course and a riding ground. There are two tourist harbours, Porto Vecchio and the modern Porto Sole. Many boutiques and local shops are in the town centre. The colourful market, held on Tuesday and Saturday mornings in Piazza Eroi Sanremesi, is notable among the people living in the Italian and French Rivieras. The Municipal Casino, built in 1905, is an example of liberty style building. The Ariston Theatre offer annual series of concerts, operas and theater plays. The Symphony Orchestra is one of twelve symphony orchestras recognized by the state of Italy and it performs some 120 concerts throughout the year, most in the Municipal Casino’s Opera Theater. Besides tourism, the city is active in the production of Extra Virgin olive oil, whose regional “designation of origin” is protected (D.O.P., Denominazione di Origine Protetta) and makes it one of the main production activities in western Liguria and in particular within the province of Imperia. Sanremo is known as the City of Flowers (la Citt dei Fiori), this being another important aspect of the economy of the city. The nearby towns of Arma di Taggia, Bordighera and Ospedaletti are also involved in the cultivation of flowers for the international flower market of Sanremo. Transportation Sanremo cable car advertising, 1937. The city is connected to Genoa and to Ventimiglia, the border city with France, by the A10 motorway, whose last part is also known as the Autostrada dei Fiori (“Freeway of Flowers”). It has a large number of elevated sections with viaducts and tunnels and gives a panoramic view of the coast. The A10 Autostrada joins the French A8 autoroute at the border between Ventimiglia and Menton. Together these national routes are part of the European route E80. Both the French and Italian motorways are toll roads. The closest airport to Sanremo is in France, the Cte d’Azur International Airport airport in Nice, 75 minutes away by car or train. The railway also passes through the city and connects it to the other Ligurian cities and to Nice, Milan, Turin and Rome. The railway line used to be right on the coast, very close to the sea, allowing travelers to admire the beauty of it. The line has been moved further north and underground, speeding trains up, with the main station relocated next to the City Hall. Today an ongoing project, carried by Area 24, is refurbishing the old area once occupied by the railway and converting it into a biking route and a pedestrian area. Other roads of importance are the SS1, the “Aurelia Bis”, which connects Sanremo to Taggia. This is a non-tolled bypass route. The coast road is the via Aurelia or SS1 and follows the route of a Roman road. This can be heavily congested when it passes through towns as it is only one lane in either direction for most of way around Sanremo.

This festival inspired the Eurovision Song Contest, which started in 1956, and for years the Sanremo festival selected the Italian entry. The internationally notable song “Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu”, also known as “Volare”, was performed at this festival for the first time by Domenico Modugno in 1958. The festival is so popular amongst Italians that it is often referred to simply as “Il Festival” (The Festival). Other events include the Tenco Prize (autumn), a song contest for authors dedicated to the memory of Luigi Tenco; the Flowers Parade in January/February in which every city of the Italian Riviera presents an original composition of flowers displayed on a Carnival/Mardi-Gras style moving car; and the summer Firework International Contest in the second week of July.

Edward Lear, artist, illustrator and writer known for his nonsense poetry and limericks, lived and died in Sanremo. His tombstone is in the Foce Cemetery. The Italian actor and comedian Carlo Dapporto was born in Sanremo and became a household name in post-war Italy. The Sicilian playwright and Nobel Prize winner Luigi Pirandello lived in Sanremo in 1933-34 and was appointed artistic director of the Casino. The writer Tobias Smollett stayed a few days in Sanremo in 1765 and described it thus: “St. Remo is a pretty considerable town, well-built upon the declivity of a gently rolling hill…There is very little plain ground in this neighbourhood; but the hills are covered with oranges, lemons, pomegranates and olives….The women of St. Remo are much more handsome and better tempered than those of Provence.” Travels through France and Italy (1766) Italian director and cinematographer Mario Bava was born in Sanremo in 1914.

This form of the name is still used on some road signs and, more rarely, on unofficial tourist information. It has been the most widely used form of the name in English at least since the 19th century. ^ “Telesina Review :: Poker – by Reviewed Online Poker”.
