Right? but it makes no sense, it's got a warranty and everything else is covered, just not the clutch, I didnt feel it going out and then just all a sudden, BAM, I dont see how the last guy would have known that was gonna happen.......a clutch just doesnt go out at 3k no matter what youve done to it

I bet it was a test car from the dealership. No way in hell that old man did that. All old people can drive a stick.

Dude...
Well this doesn't seem as widespread as those 'stangs with the junk Chinese transmissions and shifters. Detroit, pure crap.

its not as serious as most people are making it out to be
previous owner didnt know how to properly drive stick shift
and its wear and tear because if the clutch went after 3k miles, its obviously misuse

bad news.............. you just brought it
good news.............. clutch probably just needs to be repaired if you find a good place you are only looking at $400-900 which might be cheaper than some deductible,
good luck
also with the lemon law it has to be 3 or more problems in the first year, doesnt matter if its big or small so if the clutch goes bad and say some minor things happen like wiper blades motor and a window regulator breaks you can file a suit..............
good luck bro.......... buying a new car is already stressfull as it is

This is the best theory I've heard in here. BUT there must be a way to stay protected as the buyer of that vehicle, especially at only 3k miles.
