Asked by Bill Hrambanis
I bought at auction a Camry CSI 2000 which I think is a lemon. I've taken it to my mechanic for a road worthy and he completed all the work. My wife drove it home and she said the engine light came on so I immediately called the mechanic. I drove it around the street but it started to make a truck-like noise so I stopped the car. I then tried to turn it over and nothing. I have outlaid $3600 on this car and my mechanic has told me that the motor has seized. Is there any way that I can get any or all my money back?

6 Jul 2015Buying at auction means you take on the risk with a purchase. That's why it's always best to go auction shopping with an expert on the mechanical front.
