At this point, it is already too late to do so, but you should have gotten it in writing, signed by the salesman and the manager that the repairs would be made at their expense. Did you do so?
Unfortunately, Washington's "lemon law" does not appear to cover used vehicles. However, if you can prove that the promise was made to repair the vehicle, you may still have a claim under your state's Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices laws. The problem is, you have the burden of proof working against you if you did not get this promise in writing. If you didn't, all they have to do, when the court date comes, is tell the judge "no promise was made, vehicle was purchased as-is" and most judges will just throw out the case.
