Hey Pyro:

Virginia Lemon Law Summary

* Eligibility: 3 unsuccessful repairs, or 1 repair attempt of serious safety defect, or 30 calendar days out of service within 18 months.
* Resolution Attempt: Written notice to manufacturer. If 3 unsuccessful repairs or 30 days already exhausted before notice, manufacturer has 1 more repair attempt not to exceed 15 days.
* State has certified guidelines for arbitration. Law specifically applies to leased vehicles.

I'd call an attorney just in case - they'll usually give you a free consultation to see if you have a case.

Good luck.

What I read said that all that applies if the car is less than 4 years old. I'll read through it again tomorrow (when I'm sober). Thanks buddy!



WOW, I had to proofread that 3 times...

Where's the smiley with a glass (read: big mug) of rum???

I had the same site mauied I was going to post. I would also look at the paper work you signed. You might have a 60 day warranty. The dealer might give you at the very least something comparable to drive.

Ouch bro!

[SmokinDVM]

That really sucks.

I don't know about VA specific laws, but in most States, with a car that old, it's caveat emptor. And, most of the time, your warranty ends when you drive it off the lot.

Sorry to hear about the car. Reminds me of some of mine. My dad gave me this one Pontiac. Talk about a real POS. They tried fixing it and couldnt figure it out so he gives it to me. Luckily my room mate in College at the time was following me back to the dorms 250 miles away. We get about 50 miles to the destination and BOOM. The engine blew. It had a pile of smoke behind it like ya see from the Space Shuttle launch.

Never been a big fan, was just kinda desperate.

Anybody need saturn parts?

EDIT: Ow, my head. ;)

[SuperChuck]

I've got a '99 SC1 for sale if you're looking for a replacement.

[WhiteWidow]

If your car ends up being broken you might as well just get rid of it as soon as you can. The thing about Saturns is if you blow up your engine, it becomes basically worthless. Since it is made out of plastic, the junkyard might give you a couple hundred to throw it away.

I also think they have a really poor resale value, so the best thing to do with a Saturn is get one for cheap and then just run it into the ground.

[thepyrofish]

That's what I did alright. Seized up so good that 4 guys couldn't move it in 3rd gear...
