problems with used car i just purchased?

I recently bought a used car that appears to have many problems that the dealer didn't even mention. I will explain all the thing below, just keep reading.

I live at Poughkeepsie, NY and I bought a used car in my area from a dealer. I was seeking for a car since the new year and I thought so that now its time to buy a car "whatever" it was. Anyway i went with my father and a friend of him that "knows" how cars works, he's been a driver for almost all his life, and he brought his son too.

When we got to the dealer the car was a Nissan 2000, with 100k miles and was selling it for $3900.
In the beginning we thought it was too much so we told him we would give 3000$ for the car cash. The dealer said "no way" at first, but then he said OK , $3000 but it goes $3300 with TAXES!

Anyway I wanted to buy the car because I was seeking one about January. Now that i bought it i think i didn't make the best decision because i was in a hurry to buy a car, but that was my fault.

When the "driver"
friend of my dad said it was ok(the car), my dad said lets take it and we did . The car had many problems that my dad's friend said they can be easily fixed.

The problems were:

1. the drivers window didn't work
2. the belt of the transmision didn't work so well
3. the oil light is on(light)
4. the car doesn't have a red light at the back

All of these problems the dealer didn't mention at all. Plus now we see that the car doesn't worth it (my dad realized it). Is there any way that I can return the car and take my money back or I can do anything with the law to the dealer.

In a word....no. You should have had a good mechanic check it over to point out all the problems. It was purchased as-is. You were right when you said you were in a hurry and it is your fault. You have no recourse. Fix it or sell it. To Jeffrey M...the "lemon law" does NOT APPLY TO USED CARS.

Typically when you buy a used car, you are buying it "as is". If the dealer offered a warranty for this vehicle (which is unlikely b/c of the mileage), then of course take it back for repairs.

But in the end, your "expert" friend approved of the car, and it has normal problems for a vehicle with that many miles on the engine. And you say "the dealer didn't mention" the problems, however, you indicate that you knew about them BEFORE you made the purchase because your friend pointed them out, then your dad said "let's take it".

Next time you purchase a used car, have an actual mechanic look at and point out the problems before you make an impulse decision.

I think that that falls under the lemon law i'm not shore but look into it. Did you get a 3 month 3,000 mile wanante if so then have then fix it if not. Look up the lemon law in your town.

Used cars are bought "as is". The dealer is supposed to reveal any "defects" to you. About all you can do is go back to the dealer and ask that the problems be corrected, no charge, by him. If he won't, you can always report him to the BBB and/or your states office of consumer protection. If he doesn't co-operate, tell him you plan to report him and then do it.

Check your local lemon laws. I am pretty sure if the car turns out to be junk in 30 days the dealership/used car place must buy it back.(But that law changes from state to state)

Also I know around here the care must need to pass inspection from a dealer unless stated other wise.
