Sadly, it appears the mileage is a problem but contact your state attorney general’s office.

I bought a car less than 6 months ago. It has been in and out of the shop. They have fixed most of the problems. It has over a 100 thousand miles on it. I am paying each month for it I know it has alot of miles on it but I bought it with the idea that it would work. I don’t know what to do they keep wanting to fix and fix it and until the repair shop says its not fixable the dealership won’t do anything. Is it to late to do anything with the car or should I get a lawyer involved. I still have months and months of payments to pay.

At this point, you would need to call Councilman Clark’s office. The Law did not get as far as we hoped.

Does it count if it is sold as is? We purchased a van from a dealer and not even 24 hours later the engine stopped working.

I would contact the State’s Attorney General office to see if they can be of service.

I purchased a used 2000 Maxima from North East had it for 14days and my engine blew. I still owed $280 on the car I dont have the title yet and my temporary tag had 15 more days on it. I took it to a machanic who stated it had the mystery oil BLUE DEVIL in it which was to hold the engine over for a short while so they could sell the car. I have all this documented on my estimate receipt from the mechanic. Will I be covered or should I get a lawyer before having the car towed there monday. Its a saturday night and I just recieved all this info from the mechanic.

I would start by contacting the Councilman who sponsored the bill. Good luck.

Would the Lemon Law still help me? My dad and I bought a used car in Northeast Philly, the car ran fine when we bought it. Three days later everything started to go; the exhaust, fuel line and radiator. We have had the car for just under a month, we had to get all the above repaired and I have not been able to drive it for most of the month. It now stalls, we had an estimate on the repairs and it would cost over what we paid for the car. Would our car be protected under the Lemon Law? We bought it the weekend of Halloween this year.

Concerned and hopeful
