Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Used Car

I recently purchesed a used car and within less than two months and under 2000 miles the engine siezed because there was no or not enough oil in it. Now it will cost more to repair the car than I paid for it.I feel that it was the dealers neglagence and not my own. Is it possible to recuoperate my loss?

Autos have these things called dipsticks that enable drivers to check oil levels. Sounds like you forgot to use yours.

So far, you haven't any posted any facts that would indicate that the dealer was at fault. That little light on the dashboard shaped like an oil can means "check the oil", not keep driving the car.
