[hugme]

does anyone know a decent lawyer that I can just talk to about my case. the ones I find online demand a ton of paper work before they will even tell me if I am wasting my time or not...

it's just fucking stupid.. tell me if I have a fucking case, don't make me do a ton of work to find out that it's wasted!!

Does your family still go to Philadelphia? Van Banke was a Clayton County judge... he might be able to provide some input.

Lemon law only applies if you take something back for the same repair 3 times in a reasonably short ammount of time and they cant fix it. Not sure if it applies to both new and used or just new cars.

Other than that, used cars are as-is. Sales people are allowed to lie as much as they want about the condition of the car. If they sold it to you with problems, its your problem, not theirs.

The thing about the emissions/catalytic converter may be an exception tho, better look that one up. Im sure googling will find something.

Check out --) Clark Howards Site (-- (http://clarkhoward.com/), under Cars/Resources Contacts.

I would so call his consumer action line as well (on the left column).

You are getting hosed in this deal and someone needs to pay...

I just caught up on a bunch of your posts...

What do you want to do? Do you want a new car? Want this one fixed? Want this one paid off?

A CPO car should not have transmission leaks and should certainly have a catellitic converter. It's on the dealer to fix these things. If they don't fix them then you can and should escalate. Either the dealer or the warranty company will pay, but let them battle it out between them. You shouldn't have to shell out a dime. If they fail to appease you then it would make sense to consult a lawyer. Even without a lawyer a strongly-written letter to the area/general/regional management (above the dealer) should be in order as well as one to the president/owner of the dealership in question. Also if satisfaction is then not received make sure you have documentation of the car being sold to you sans catellitic converter. Then you can go to the local EPA office and the dealership will be fined several thousand dollars (in high school a friend's dad's shop was accused of removing that stuff and was fined without any kind of due process.)

Since I'm Jewish, all the lawyers I know are great, but expensive (and Jewish)(like my landlady's brother, Lowell Fine)(oh, the rampant stereotypes). If you are further interested, let me know and I'll ask my dad for permission to raid his rolodesk.

The dealer knew it had issues but did not disclose that to the buyer... that seems like something that could indeed be addressable.

Dude, our company benefits provide you a free lawyer consultation and a discount if you decide to use them after the free consultation. Contact me offline if you don't have the information on how to do that. (or maybe i just email it to ya instead of making this more complicated than i have to) ;)

Email sent, don't let your spam filter eat it.

Also, brun_fid is right about the cat-conv. To state that another way, the dealer knowingly sold the consumer a vehicle that was not street-legal. That can definitely result in big time fines for them.
