problem #1

Feb 222008

MX-5 Miata 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 93,726 miles
I had bought the car the day before on Feb 21 2008 and on Feb 22 2008 I was driving and doing 60 and all of a sudden the car stalls wouldn't let me shift or gear down, and as trying to do so the brakes lock up when I let go of the clutch. Then coasting into the closest driveway. Now it wont start and I don't know what to do because I just got it from a used car lot the day before. And also makes me wonder, did they know this was going to happen or something similar was going to happen. What can I legally do about this?
