Legal Question in Consumer Law in Arizona

i purchased a vehicle from a dealer about 2 months ago. the vehicle was hit on the test drive. the dealer said they would still sell the vehicle because it was just the rear wheel that was damaged. we have been having a lot of trouble with shaking and noises and after havinjg somebody look at it we were told it was the rear end which is where the vehicle was hit. we also noticed that they replaced the rear axle with junkyard parts and it looks like they only replaced half. i feel there was more damage done than was disclosed to us just so they could make a sale and if we knew the full extent of the damage we would not have purchased it. what can i do?

You have a statutory time period in which to bring a lemon law case... it is different for a used car (shorter time period) than new cars. Without knowing what you bought I cannot tell you whether you have a case under the lemon law. If you feel that you were defrauded or lied to... you may have a case for misrepresentation.... if you feel that they breached their contract to you ... you may have a case under that theory. Without reviewing the contract, I cannot discuss whether there wee any warranties. If you would like to have us review your agreement, call Stephanie Coulter of this office at 602 462 1004 and make arrangements to have that happen.
