What canI do to get my money back if I bought a used lemon?
I bought a used jeep and it was taken to the dealers shop after 2 weeks because it was shaking like crazy. Got it back and in a couple of days they said they changed the plugs and it was running great. Not true, it was still just as bad as before. A week goes by, and its even worse and the check engine light went on. The dealer said to bring it down. After being in the shop for 3 weeks they informed me the motor was replaced. The did this without informing me and certainly did not have my permission. Is there anything I can do to get my money back. Do I have a fighting chance?

If you bought a used vehicle from a dealership where after the fact it had many problems with it necessitating many repairs and loss of use, I would simply have a meeting with the dealership's manager and ask that the purchase contract be rescinded in that you no longer want the vehicle because it is not in the condition represented to be in before the purchase.
If the dealership is reluctant to accomodate your request to cancel your purchase of the vehicle, I suggest that you consult with an attorney who practices in the area of automotive law.
