Michael, The FTC does not have any such warranty requirement. Each state regulates car dealers, not the FTC. Since you are in NJ, you are most likely referencing NJ state law, not federal law. I would like you to post the above referenced law here right from the source.

I bought a 1998 Mitusbishi Eclipse Syder from them in 2006. I was smart enough or lucky enough to purchase a extended warranty for 12 month or 12,000 miles. The car was a piece of crap after about 3 months. As a matter of fact, it is in the shop now because the engine is knocking even after being repalced 6 months ago. Anyone who reads this, don't buy a used car from Joe Myers.

Janet, I'm sorry this didn't turn out so well for you, but you did buy a 10 year old car. The Federal Trade Commision requires a dealership to warranty a used car with 0-20,000 miles for 90 days or 3,000 miles, a car with 20,001 to 60,000 for 60 days or 2,000 miles, and a car with 60,001 to 100,000 miles for 30 days or 1,000 miles. A seven year or older car is exempt from this scale, and that car may be sold with our without a warranty. The entire purpose behind buying an older car is to lessen your expense due to the car being a much smaller price. With that smaller price comes the responsibility of all repairs on the vehicle once it is sold. If you look on your purchase order, most stores use the same type of form, on the right hand side you'll see two boxes. One box will say something about a warranty and the next will say something along the lines of 'Waiver of Dealer's Obligation'. The 'waiver' box is the as-is disclosure. You should also have signed a FTC guide from the window marked 'AS-IS', but they might not have done that. You could go through your paperwork and see if anywhere it is disclosed As-Is, and if it isn't you could try to sue them, but honestly, it is a 10 year old car and your chances of winning the case are pretty slim. Sorry for the situation and I hope you're able to get your car repaired without costing you a lot.
