Legal Question in Consumer Law in Massachusetts

I recently purchased a car. When I went to pick it up, I was told they needed to get it inspected before allowing me to leave the lot. I had my plates on it and the sale was final (title in my possession). The dealer threw my keys and was aggressive with me. He would not allow me to obtain my own inspection. I was able to get it the next day after they had brought it to be inspected (passed).

Now, I have had my car at the dealer for 2 days with a rattling when I turn right and intermittent issues with loss of directional's, gas and temperature gauges and was told today there are no issues with the car. I picked it up this evening and plan on getting another inspection done to see if it passes.

What can I do? (the car has 150,000 miles on it)

You may have rights under the MA Lemon Law and/or other protections to rescind the purchase or otherwise protect your rights. Go to mass.gov and click on the Attorney General's website. There, you should find lots of information pertaining to the Lemon Law and other applicable rights.
