I bought a ford f * * it turns out needs a new motor
In Washington, if you bought the car from a dealer, they should have disclosed any known defects. Here's what you can do:
- Check Warranty: See if there is any remaining manufacturer's warranty.
- Implied Warranty: Ensure the dealer didn't waive implied warranties.
- Disclosure Violation: If the dealer didn't disclose the issue, you might have a case.
