lemon law when buying truck?

The "Lemon Law" applies only to new vehicles.

Unless the dealer gave you some form of guarantee, it appears that you have no legal recourse since the dealer is not liable or required to offer you any relief.

The fact that you've moved out of state won't help either. Unless the dealer already knows that you've moved out of state or have licensed the truck in Virginia, don't tell him.

What I would do is to return to the dealer as soon as you are able and ask very nicely if he can offer you any form of relief due to the condition of the truck.

If the dealer thinks you still live locally, he is more likely to offer you some assistance since his local reputation would be affected.

If an unhappy customer started talking about his dealership around town, that could cost him money.

You always have the right to get a lawyer but you first must consider the amount of money it would cost to be made whole versus what it will cost to hire a lawyer.

This, while living in another state and the possibility or having to return to appear in court.

What I'm saying is, it doesn't look real good for you to pursue this legally.

The best plan would be to meet with the dealer and calmly ask if there's anything he could do to make the situation a little more workable.

Maybe offer you a different used vehicle, agree to some method of repair, or possibly a cash settlement.

To press for a legal settlement, or to threaten legal action will likely not work and just anger the dealer to where he will not want to work with you.

Chill, go talk with the dealer (don't be accusatory) and see if you can reach a mutual agreement without using the words "court, legal or sue".

there is no lemon law on used car or trucks. You are stuck with the repairs unless you managed to get some type of warranty. How did you not notice the bed was all rusted out, lol

Nope. No lemon laws to cover used vehicles, and since you have taken the vehicle out of the state where it was purchased, there's probably nothing to be done but to fix it yourself. Next time, pay a bit more attention, or find a good mechanic to inspect the vehicle BEFORE you buy it.

Lemon regulations purely conceal new vehicle purchases. If it rather is a used vehicle no lemon regulations stick to. No producer is going to remember a used automobile in spite of in case you have a protracted guarantee. What you're able to do is sell that piece of **** steer sparkling of.
