Robmac...be carefull about giving out info unless you know for certain of what you speak.
In MA...every vehicle sold for over $799 must have a 30 day lemon law warranty, and be inspectable. The consumer does not have the right to waive this warranty, even if both buyer and seller enter into such agrrement (to waive the warranty)...either in writing, or a simple gentleman's agrrement...it does not matter. The law does not care. In MA, the consumer cannot waive their warranty.
However...you are speaking about Irwin Motors, which is in "Live Free or Die" NH. NH law is quite different. If a bargained upon price of a used vehicle in NH is agreed upon by both the buyer and seller, to be an "As Is" sale, the state or NH is fine with it. If the paperwork is in order, the consumer does not have a leg to stand on. The car can break into two pieces when it leaves the lot and you now own 2 cars. The paperwork actually states, "I realize the car I am buying is being sold 'as is' and may be uninspectable and therefore unsafe" etc etc. I'm not saying this is the case here, but if AW made the purchase and entered into an "as is" agreement, then there is not responsibilty on the part of Irwin...nor should there be.
Otherwise, you are right, and the repair should have been covered.
