Reply to comment by curkington in Where to buy a used car under warranty? by Nocturmowl

Exactly!!! I bought a used Audi in MA, checked out fine prior to purchase. My check clears, dealership calls and says ok to pick up, and the heating system was dead. Drive back to the dealership. They fix it under warranty. Go a week later to pick it up, go to put gas in it, battery won’t turn over. Back to the dealership for a new battery. Pick it up a THIRD time and there’s a huge chip in the windshield right in the line of sight. Car won’t pass inspection, so they had to take it back. They were mad, but MA lemon law protected me!

That sounds like a nightmare! But at least they were able to keep taking it back. I had that happen with a Honda Element (still regretting buying one). Battery, electrical glitches making the headlights randomly turn off and kill the heat, they had a short warranty on it but even after the work they put into it..still had issues! Ideally I’ll get a CPO car with one owner and no accidents/minor dings…
