What are your rights if you bought a lemon from a private individual?

[Edit]

Answer

Your state may have a lemon law, which could give you some recourse. And if there was fraud involved (the seller lied), you have a civil claim. You might sue in small claims court if it's a relatively small amount, or hire a lawyer if it was a more expensive car.

Good luck!

Answer

Lemon Laws vary by state, most of them do little for used car buyers though, even if bought from a dealer,you might want to check that out with your state. Lemon Laws usually cover you when you buy a NEW CAR from a dealer.
