My girlfriend bought a car from a small car lot and 6 months later the engine blew. She still owes $11,000. They want $4000 to repair the engine. They won't tell us what is wrong with the engine just that we need to pay them to fix it. Is there anything we can do?

Most used cars are sold as-is, meaning the buyer is not relying on anything the seller may have... Read more »
