What to do if I bought a vehicle and it started to mess up after the 15 day guarantee period?
I took it to the repair shop and was advised that what was done to my vehicle was so that it could get sold. The dealers probably knew but wanted the vehicle sold. I called the car dealer and explained the situation and was told there was nothing they could do because it was over the 15 days. So what can I do?

Arizona's Lemon Law, as you know, only protects you from major failure for the first 15 days after buying a used car, or 500 miles, whichever comes first. If you really believe the car dealer rigged the car to run for 15 days by masking a basic underlying problem, you may be able to sue for fraud. You would need another mechanic to testify that is what happened here.
