Here are the basics of the California "Lemon Law". From what I read, since she bought it "as is", it does not apply, unliss this a "lemon buy back". Then they have to offer a 1 year warranty on it.
Unless it is a lemon buy back, about the only thing she can do is go back to the lot and talk to them, hoping they will do what is right. It looks like there's no real leagal recourse.

You have to be careful when you purchase a vehicle AS IS. The dealers make you sign all kinds of forms that take them off the hook in case of a law suit. A dead battery is not much of a serious problem and it is not covered under any warranty no matter what time, so she needs to go out and purchase a new battery. To answer your question there is a lemon law on every state is just the rhetoric that changes from state to state.
There is a Lemon Law in every State of the Union.
the law on used cars is pretty much the same ,when it has that sticker that says as is,and you sign it,this means your accepting it like it is,and the lemon law wont apply on this one,its the same way here in Tennessee also ,a lot of people buy them every day only to discover that have been taken again on a used car,but on those i hate to say it but its buyer beware,sorry they got a lemon,but maybe it can be fixed cheap enough ,good luck hope this helps.
She bought, and signed a contract for a car being sold "as is". The "as is", is the key statement. The owner likely knew about the cooling system needing flushed, and didn't bother to disclose. But when you buy a used car, it is sold just as is it is. You have no recourse, you now own this car. It may be a reasonable fix, on the other hand, with those symptoms, it could be a very expensive fix. Next time you car shop, try to take someone with you that is familiar with cars, and can help you make a good buy. It's an expensive lesson to learn about car buying. Regarding Lemon Law, that regulation covers new vehicle purchases, with manufacturer defects.
