I bought a used car from a dealership about two months ago. It has high mileage but is in good shape and just about perfect for my needs.
One thing that was important to my wife and I was that the AC worked. Having two little kids it just gets to hot in the summer not to have so when I got the car I asked the sales guy about the AC and he assured me it worked. My wife asked him at a second time at a later date, and again he said it worked.
It was 30 degrees out when I bought the car so there was no way to test the AC; you turn it on in weather like that and it's going to blow no matter what.
So today is the first real hot day of the year that and my wife goes turn the AC on, and it doesn't work. I called the dealership and explained the situation to them and they've told me that the car was sold as is and they're not responsible for it.
I asked to speak to the sales manager and am waiting for a call back.
My contention is that I asked about the AC, twice, and was assured it's working, though now I find out that it's not. I think they should pay to fix it.
Do I have a leg to stand on here?
