Augie- I purchased the truck new and keep good records of everything. In the past I have successfully done a buy-back using the lemon laws in Louisiana.
My truck is excluded from lemon laws due to being over 10,000 GVW and outside first year of warranty. In La. there are Redhibition laws which are more general and go above and beyond lemon laws- you can sue for entire purchase price, etc. with no deductions for mileage, etc. and are not specific to motor vehicles. Apply during the entire warranty period, which is what the lemon laws SHOULD also do.
