Field notes
Homepage examples show California's 18-month/18,000-mile presumption window and Texas's $35 complaint fee, each beside statutory citations and a “read” date. The navigation separates state rules from used-car laws, warranties, extended service contracts, arbitration, and recalls; a linked estimator is described as applying each state's use-offset formula. The site says it sells nothing and refers no one. The legal interpretations and calculations have not been independently verified from this extract.
