First you must have 3 attempts to fix the same issue or your car has to be in the shop for 30 days or more in total. At that point you can file the lemom law claim. The basis we used was the car ...

Maybe I will go by Infiniti this weekend and see what kind of deal they can get me... Did you put anything down? If so how much? What was the rate they gave you/ monthly payment if you dont mind me asking.
