Legal Question in Consumer Law in Texas
I bought a used car from an individual who told me in person as well as in several emails that there was nothing wrong with the car. I've had the car less than 24 hours & it has already died on the side of the road. Myself & 2 children Pushed the car to our home several blocks & it is now sitting in our drive. I notified the seller less than 22 hours after picking up the car that there was a problem & that the car either need to be fixed or my money returned. He is now refusing to give my money back or send someone to repair the problem. Do I have any legal rights to get a refund? I have saved all emails & it clearly states the car is in good shape. Can this be considered under the lemon law, deceptive trade, or even fraud? I am disabled & it took a long time to save the money to purchase this car. What can I do?
