Oklahoma Lemon Law… Please Help :)?
Question : Oklahoma Lemon Law… Please Help 
?
I just bought a car today. They told me everything was perfect with the car, except for some exterior damage, which didn’t bother me. I and two of my friends test drove it three different times and everything really did seem perfect. Literally after a short drive home the brakes seemed to be not working.
1.) It takes a very long time to stop
2.) There is an awful burning smell after driving on the highway.
3.) One of the doors stopped opening
4.) A belt or something starting squeaking
All of this not even 24 hrs after of purchasing the car. I bought it out right and have a huge regret. I looked up the Lemon Law and it states:
Oklahoma Lemon Laws cover “Any motor driven vehicle required to be registered, excluding vehicles above 10,000 pounds GVW and the living facilities of motor homes.”
Manufacturers are entitled to 4 repair attempts or 45 days out of service before it qualifies under Oklahoma Law as a Lemon.
Cars are covered under the Oklahoma Lemon Law for Warranty period or 1 year.
So even though it was bought as is and out right I am still protected. Right? It says “ANY MOTOR DRIVEN VEHICLE”
Thanks in advance
Gotta Love dealerships and salesmen… I was like a big red target. Lessons learned.

You bought a used car so no you cant claim its a lemon. You also bought it “as is” so the dealer doesn’t have to do anything for you.

Your car is NOT covered under factory warranty, so it does NOT qualify as a lemon! Did you just not bother to read what you found???
You are stuck with what you bought. Ignorance of how cars work is NOT an excuse. You did not know what you were buying, yet you signed the papers and gave your money away. Say what???
As for William…call a bank? For what? Sounds like William is a fool and we do not need three days to figure that out.

You have up to 72 hours (3 days) to change your mind and take the car back. This is federal law.

Cooling off rule – it doesn’t apply
30 day car return myth
The Federal Trade Commission’s three-day right to cancel – called the Cooling-off Rule – gives you three days to cancel purchases of $ 25 or more made at the buyer’s home, workplace or dormitory or at facilities rented by the seller on a short-term basis The cooling off rule applies only to purchases you make at home.
Now, if you convinced the dealership to come to your house and you completed the sale at your house – then the cooling off rule applies.

You have up to 72 hours (3 days) to change your mind and take the car back. This is federal law. They have to take the car back, and refund your money. It doesn’t matter if you bought it new or used, or if it was “as is”. All dealers have to comply with this law. The “Lemon Law” has nothing to do with it, and you don’t have to wait all that time to prove the car is a lemon. Just call them up and tell them you have changed your mind and want to return the car. But you HAVE TO DO IT WITHIN the 3 day period. It sounds like you have 2 days left to go.
Good Luck.
P.S. Check with a bank or call your local consumer affairs office. They can give you details. - Comment Feed for this Post
The law won’t help you if it’s a used car. Lemon laws protect the buyers of NEW vehicles from serious, recurring defects. You didn’t buy a lemon, you bought a used car. Lemon laws don’t cover maintenance issues, like brakes, doors, squeaks and smells.
You had the chance to inspect and drive the car before you bought it. It’s too late to do anything now.
And for the 10th time today – there is NO magical 3-day right to return a car, new or used.
