Does the lemon law apply to private party vehicles sold in AZ to someone in CA?

We bought a used car from a private party person in AZ - engine blew within 15 miles of leaving seller's residence and the seller will not refund money or take any responsibility. Do we have any valid recourse?

All private sales are "AS-IS".... meaning no warranty implied. Unless you got it in writing with his signature, it's your car, your problem.

Lemon Law only applies to NEW cars that you buy from a dealership. Some states also cover used cars but they must be covered under a warranty. Cars sold "AS-IS" is never covered by the Lemon Law.

Should've spent the $100 and got it inspected by a mechanic. But when people choose to be cheap, they usually end up expensive.
