urgent bearing replacement

If you just bought it, why don't you take it back and tell them they need to fix it. There are lemon laws, and depending on what the condition of the car was stated as being - other than "as is" - they need to take care of that free of charge as it most definately is a mechanical problem that effects the operation of the car.

If the car was sold "as is" condition, you're SOL.
If the car was sold as poor or bad condition, you're SOL.
If the car was sold as good, or excellent, you're NOT SOL.

Check your state's used car laws and the dealer's warranty, I'm sure you'll see that you are covered. If they won't fix it, and it is less than 90 days since you bought it, tell them you don't want it anymore and get your money back! That'll probably motivate them to fix it for free.

anywhere in the US there is a 3-day Right of recession. for 3 days you can change your mind and take it back for ANY reason. I'm sure it's prolly been longer, but if not, i'd take it back.

no actually i got it yesterday but i found out it is piston slap. my stepdad works at the dealer and he paid for half. he drove it and he said it ran and sounded solid so i don't think he would pay half for it if it was making that noise. but he told me if it had a prob. then call and i did. he told my to find out how much it will cost for the one piston and rings and gaskets and to see if i can get our family mech to help with the repair. he will pay for it he said.the car was a 3000 dollar car and everything is really nice. it has headers true duals out the back nice chrome wheels and a 500 dollar cd player and looks brand new.

be careful telling people on here that anyone else paid for any portion of your car. people will give you shyt for it.

I don't care if he got some help for buying his car.

i didn't say all people. heck, i'm not gonna give him crap for it. my dad bought my first car. now granted, it was a rusty 1988 chevy pickup in 1993 with 198,000 miles on it. but he bought the car and paid for all of the maintenance. I just know that people have been given a lot of crap on here for thier parents buying them cars. just tryin' to help out the new guy.
