What should I do if my financed car keeps breaking down?
What do I do if my financed used car keeps breaking down? I got a car from a local dealer. However, this used car keeps breaking down all the time.

“The first thing you should do is to see if your car qualifies for the lemon law.

If the vehicle doesn’t qualify, you’re at the mercy of the dealer.

shady dealers
, most will work with you with the intention of keeping their reputation untarnished at the very least.”View full answer
