Lemon laws do not apply to used vehicles.
Unfortunately you may be stuck with you purchase. Try and work something out with the dealership.
If you don't make your monthly payments you may still be held in default and have a judgement entered against you for principle,
atty's fees and costs.
Check your sales contract and other paperwork to see if the vehicle was sold 'as is', or whether there is a warranty. If it was sold as is, then your options are extremely limited.
