What is the Lemon Law in North Carolina?
Full Question:
Is there any consumer protection via a lemon law in NC? I had a pre-owned Chevy Blazer SUV die on me the 12th day after possession and now I cannot afford the repair, which is a total engine replacement. Right now it sits on the dealer's lot with a completely disassembled
engine, even some of its parts are now mysteriously missing! The dealership is only willing to lend us the $2,000.00 to get it repaired, and let us pay that back over time with monthly payments. We want our money back or another vehicle equivalent to what we already have paid him. He says he has nothing like that. How can we cut our losses at this point?

Answer:
The NC lemon law applies only to new vehicles, not pre-owned
vehicles. Any available remedy would be based on a contract claim, such
as a warranty or deception/fraud in entering the contract. Sometimes it
is possible to get a Carfax report to see the history of the vehicle if
you suspect information had been withheld.
