CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW -- please assist, what can be done here?

My poor housekeepr bought a salvaged car for $2250 and be told the transmission was restored, but have since had to put hundreds in to get hold of the car to work -- she almost had an quirk on the freeway.

She showed me the "Deposit Receipt" where she paid $2000 and it does say-so "as is - no warranty" and the sales rep wrote in that the coup¨¦ was "fixed" listed minor repairs, and "alignment"

Isn't within a "Lemon Law" that can help her via state agency or in small claims court?

She have been to the business (Elite Auto Sales in San Diego) and say the owner is always "unavailable" and one of the guys who works there told her they know the car didn't work, that's just they road its -- the neighbors to the business also told her they do this all the time -- rip off the poorest populace.

What should she do?
Answers:
Lemon Laws pertain to NEW cars and trucks that own had multiple attempts made to fix a problem with no nouns. An arbitration process is then implemented and it is determined by a 3rd delegation whether the factory will buyback the car from the consumer.
As is Cars are usually not actionable. Did this car own a salvage title? Don't know about California but in Ohio a supplier would not be allowed to sell a car beside a salvage title. Check with the California Highway patrol as they would have inspected the restored motor and issued a salvage title for it.. They can advise you.
A salvaged motor in this case would be a saloon that an insurance co. has totaled and sold to someone - maybe a salvage patio for parts. It is then restored to working order and safekeeping inspected by OHP in Ohio and they issue a title but you can't sell the piece.
A salvage coup¨¦ is a car that I would bet is exempt from the lemon law.
Unfortunately, lemon laws typically cover new cars. As is warranty does not cover chief mechanical or wear and tear. The with the sole purpose warranty given is a safety items only for 30 days. In other words anything to do next to safety. Brake lights, brakes, horn, head lights etc. This is a continuous warranty, within other words if one thing fails contained by 30 days and is fixed, the 30 days is renewed. If something else fails it has to be fixed again and so on. She should contact the local report station (Like 7 on your side)and see if they will do a story on her predicament and put pressure on their business to make it right by giving her a newer reliable car.
