I further believe that anyone who buys a $1.2K warranty on a $6.5K car is a bigger idiot. Calling a 10 year old car a lemon, regardless of problem, proves the above. Asking for government intervention on 10 year old cars, 'because I think it is a lemon', is ludicrous (but our neighbors to the North are Socialists, aren't they?). You have made a myriad of poor decisions. Cut your losses, try to learn from them, and move on. There are sheep, and there are wolves. Stop bleating.
