“Just don’t understand this logic. Not only is he now stuck with the car. It’s damaged & insurance isn’t gonna pay for it. He’s going to jail then he’s gonna have to pay for the dealership repairs. What??” one user said.

The other viewer wrote, “This is my hometown. Here's my response.
The 'As Is' law needs to go. Not many people can afford a brand-new car or just don't want the zero-equity value drop as soon as you drive off the lot. Which puts you upside-down on the loan. Used cars are bought more frequently. We all know that dealers put as little as they can to sell the car problems and all.  Consumers need protection against these practices. How much do you think he paid for that POS car? now add to the cost of the needed repairs which in itself isn't cheap!  Utah needs a "Lemon Law". Giving the purchaser time to evaluate the stability of the car.”

The man is now behind the bars and the case is being investigated thoroughly.
