Hello everyone!
On Monday 05/2/11 my husband and I purchased a car from a BuyHere PayHere lot in Georgia. Before the test drive the car did have to be jumped off, but the salesman told us he had planned on replaing the battery anyway. Before we left the lot he replaced the battery in the car and sent us on our way. Later in the same day the coolant light came on, and after checking levels it appeared to be a little low. Added coolant and light went off with no signs of overheating. On 5/5/11 we noticed a leak in the radiator. The dealer was closed by the time the leak was noticed so the plan was to contact him this morning. Late last night on the way to pick my husband up from work the car broke down and left my 2 year old and I stranded on the side of the road. We quickly figured out that the altenator needs to be replaced.
My question is what are my options? I was given a 30 day, 3000 miles warranty on things like transmission, drivetrain, etc. nut I just feel like the issues I am having are ones he had to know about before he sold the car. He snowed us a bit on the battery situation and I believe he already knew there was an alternator problem. We gave this man every dime we had on a downpayment and three days later the car is inoperable. Do I have any rights?
Thanks in advance for any advice or opinions.
