Most used car sales in Tennessee are "as-is," and if your buyer's guide and contract say that, the dealer generally isn't on the hook for repairs as a contractual matter. The first thing to check: does your paperwork show "As-Is - No Warranty" or "Implied Warranties Only" or "Dealer Warranty"? If the dealer misrepresented the truck's condition, knew about pre-existing defects and concealed them, or has been stringing you along in bad faith, the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act allows for treble (triple) damages and attorney's fees. This is often the strongest hammer in used-car disputes

Yes. I can review this contract for you for a fixed flat fee. I will need to view the contract to provide you the flat fee price. I look forward to the opportunity to assist with your legal needs. Thanks!

I'm an Oklahoma attorney and not an Idaho attorney, so I am simply providing information about the general theory of contracts. For a more detailed response, you need to talk to an attorney in the place where the contract states for its choice of law. If your contract does not state a choice of law, it is possible the place where you live is not actually the law that applies to the contract. The law of the place where the buyers are located might apply. Typically, the words in a contract are to be interpreted in their usual and customary way and not in any technical way, unless the contract indicates otherwise. So, the dictionary meaning of "maintenance" may well be applied. I see two definitions in Merriam-Webster, both of which are not helpful to you because they are broad, not distinguishing between "maintenance" stuff like replacing brake shoes in a trailer's electric drum brake system and fixing or replacing broken things like an A/C unit that simply died after running non-stop during a heat wave. There may be some case law on this in the correct jurisdiction. Your really need to talk to a local attorney and show them the contract you have.
