Unfortunately Kentucky doesnt have a lemon law for private sales. So we r focusing on getting an estimate on getting it fixed. Worst case we write it off as a very expensive lesson learned for our son. We dont think he should “pay the price” for this guy being a douchebag, so we r going to replace the cash and it will be a down payment on a dealer used car. He worked his ass off to earn that money so we want to reward that.
