Bought a used Honda Civic 2 days ago and the AC doesn't work

| I contacted the dealership ( Nissan) and the sales guy told me we checked it on the day of sale and it was working. He also told me to come in tomorrow and he will see what his manager says. We bought the car as is but it's supposed to be certified. Any tips for me tomorrow? They offered an extended warranty but it's only for the transmission. I've been researching Honda Civic and it seems many people complain about the AC not working. I checked the AC on the day of sale but it was so cold I couldn't tell if it was working. The AC has been blowing warm air today. We live in the south so AC is very important. It reaches 100 here most months! |

| Depending on what state you are in, you may be able to void the sale. Take it back and tell them to fix the AC or they can void the sale. |

Op here: I meant to write it was freezing outside that day so it was hard to tell. It seemed to be blowing out cold air that day. |

| If it says "as is" you are stuck. Be nice. They don't have to do anything. |

I thought most places offered a 30 day warranty to fix things like that. Check with your state's consumer protection office. It's often part of the Attorney General's office. They would know and be able to tell you quickly. |

In some states, purchasing a used vehicle “as is” means that you are not entitled to any repairs after you buy it.
It is a truly a sucky law. But since only two days have elapsed since purchasing the car, in an act of goodwill the dealer may look at it at no charge & try to work something out w/you regarding repairs. If they do not, Yelp is your best friend. Good luck!! |

| It could take a while for the A/C to get cool but it shouldn't really unless it's summer. First red flag was buying a Honda from a Nissan dealership. |

| Ask the dealer to fix it or ask them to take back the car. If not, call consumer affairs or someone to get some help. It easily a $1000 repair. |

65% of the parts in the Civic are made in North America. It's assembled in Canada or Indiana depending on the model year: https://www.fisherhonda.com/honda-accord-civic-make-list-of-cars-with-the-most-north-american-made-parts/ |
