Lemon Law Question Options

[JoKeRkId613]

i might be getting rid of my car but want some advice from someone that knows. in florida, you have to have bought the car new (check), be within 24 months of the delivery date (check, so far im at 20-21 months), and have taken the car to get serviced for the same thing (so far ive had my manifold replaced twice due to faulty catalytic) three times OR had the car in service for 15 days or more in the 24 months (i'm waaay past the 15 days, which is good). so i'm thinking of getting a full refund, plus collateral and incidental charges (financing costs, dealer options, labor, etc).

i'm just sick of always having to take it to the dealer for something. manifold, replaced supercharger, pulley/belt issues, etc. honestly, most service issues come from the supercharger. i have 18k miles and i had the manifold replaced at 8k and again now at 18k. the supercharger was replaced completely for a blown bearing.

my question is - since i bought/installed the TRD supercharger through the toyota dealer, would all these service issues and being without a car for 15+ days still apply? when i blew the manifold the first time, they were giving me the run around saying they couldnt give me a rental because the manifold blew because it was defective and NOT caused by the supercharger so TRD wouldnt have to pay for my rental. now this can work to my advantage, i just dont have documentation. but anyway, do you guys think i'll be able to go through lemon law to get my money back? its only been 18k miles, i still have another 42k warranty but its not even worth having to figure out rides for the rest of my life because i have to replace the manifold every 10k miles or whatever else comes up.

any thoughts?

edit: by documentation, i meant for the fact that the manifold blowing was due to defect and not the s/c. i have most repair orders and will be getting the rest today.

Since TRD upgrades are covered under the warranty when installed by a Toyota dealer I think this law would still apply. From what I understand TRD is now owned by Toyota [used to be a seperate entity] so that should further back up your claim. I'd get with a lawyer for a free consultation and get him/her to look at the existing laws and how they apply with your fairly unique situation.
Not sure I'd give up on it like that but if that's what you want - then that's the route I'd follow.
Hope this helped [and that you don't get rid of that badass tC]

Nobody mentioned that to me before i made an ass out of my self...

okay, X2 with the free lawyer consultation, and plan your course accordingly. Find all of your options before you choose one. GL with that
