Question by : Dealership sold me a bad car?
I bought an 00 Jetta TDI from a dealership 2 days ago. I took it in for an oil change/tune up etc. The mechanic said the transmission was going bad and needs to be replaced. It slips during initial acceleration, and in 5th gear.
Also, the oil plug was over sized – trying to cover up the stripped threading.
Am I SOL? Do I have any options? I realize only a few states recognize the ‘used car lemon law’ and WA is not one of them. But are there other caveats? Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices (UDAP) laws? What am I entitled to with that?

Question by snowflake: you buy a car from a used car lot and at inspection learn it needs alot of work,is the dealership responsible?
I took my used car,that I’ve had for less than a month for inspection and it failed due to needing all new brakes(with the front brake pads being worn down almost completely).I did buy a warranty,though it does not cover new brakes.I believe the dealer sold me what could potentially be a lemon and should have the work done on his dime.He says that I am being scammed and sarcastically asked “what do you want me to do about it?”.Does anyone know the law for this in the state of NJ?Is it time to call a lawyer?
