if the dealer lies?
i live next to flordia and we have a lemon law of 3 days. Also i hope you bought a better clutch then OEM for 2400. I could have told you to not let the dealer do actual work on the car. I had a horrible experience with mine when i first got it and had them install a new exhaust manny. The only thing ill let them do is change the oil in the evo.
if you purchased your car used and the dealer lied to you and said they have changed all the fluids, put in a new clutch, and performed all service for the car, and it turned out to be ALL LIES, and the car required several mechanical problems to be fixed like transfer case, clutch, does that fall under the right to know law? isnt a dealer suppose to let you know if something in the car is defective and let you know what has or has not been done to the car? if i have the parts replaced and they show that they were damaged at time of sale what is possible to do? or is it completly out of my hands since its a used car?
your screwed man. i bought my car with the dealer knowing a race company in hawaii owned it and traded it there. just so happens they forgot to tell me this. i started having all kinds of problems with it. then it was oh remember chris he bought the such and such evo. that was 2 weeks into me owning it. so yea they will always find a way out.
BBB doesn't do anything significant for the consumer. The only thing they do is allow the business to be in good standing with the BBB which in turn allows the business to say they are part of the BBB.

The word "lemon law" gets tossed around a lot, but most people don't know what they acutally are. Most times they don't even apply to used cars.
I don't think you have any recourse here. Its a wear item and unless you had problems right off the top it will be hard to prove that they didn't do what they said.

I dont think a lemon law would work for used cars. Only New. The way a lemon law works is if something malfunctions or breaks, it'll get replaced under warrenty. It has to break 3 times for the lemon law to take effect for you to get a new car or your money back, but it won't be through the dealership. It'll be with the manufacturer.
Ask the service manager for records on your car. They should keep track of all of that stuff, if he refuses or is to lazy, try mentioning a lawyer will get involved. Or try to talk to the owner of the dealership.

If it is still under warranty they should of fixed it, I had a friend that the same thing happened to him. They left the TC dry as a bone, he drove away then burnt it up. After a lot of headaches and phone calls he got it fixed. He didnt have to pay anything, same stealership let a guy drive away with no engine oil. Had to replace that also, on a different car, the mechanic still works there and they can never keep an Evo on there lot. You should of contacted Mitsubishi about this.
