Hi,

My very expensive, top brand-name, backhoe-loader broke down at 5 months
old. It was over a month ago when dealer took the machine back to their
shop in Alabama. Dealer says they can't tell me when repairs will be
completed (under warranty) because of unavailability of parts (it needs
new transmission). That machine is necessary to do work on the farm.
Work that is not getting done right now.

Do I have any recourse against Corporate or Local Dealer? Could I force
a buyback under some kind of lemon law? Dealer has not been receptive
to a loaner. I simply don't have the patience to play these kinds of BS
games anymore.

Sure could use some constructive advice ......

Looks to me like you have enough at stake here to talk to a real lawyer
instead of trying to get free advice from the Internet. [Free advice is
worth every cent you paid for it.] Surely it's worth $1000 to get some
real legal advice.

And you'd be amazed at the results a letter on stationary headed "John
Jones, esq." can get.

The normal rule in a situation like this is called "cover." That is
to say that you do what you can to reduce or eliminate any damages
you may incur, and then ask the seller to reimburse you for the costs
of doing that. In your case that might be to rent another backhoe to
do the work, if you can. Are there other ways to get the same work
done?
