Sounds kind of risky for an alternator and battery. It's the benefit and risk of buying a used vehicle. You pay less but you are buying a used vehicle that isn't always covered by a warranty. Yes, I wish the dealer would've stepped up but is it worth the price of an alternator and battery to potentially be dealing with law suits? In my mind, no, I would buy the alternator and battery and move on unless of course there is something in the paperwork that gives you reason to believe this work should be covered by the dealer.

i agree with TriGem - if anything, stop payment on the check until the matter is resolved - you can call the business mgr at the dealership and let him know that is your plan (call him after you done it), but that is also the professional thing to do rather than cancelling the check and waiting to hear from them. If you do have the ability to both stop payment and return the vehicle, that is a great idea at the point - if you are less than 30 days on a dealer sold vehicle and it's already a mess (both mechanically with the car and in your relationship with the dealer) get out and find a different car elsewhere!

The problem is that you signed a sales contract, took delivery of the car and I'm sure it was "As is" with no warranty. If you stop payment and return the car they can take you to court if they want. Does your state have a cooling off period? In California there is no "cooling off" period. Once you sign the contract and drive off the lot it yours. If your state has a "cooling off" period you can change your mind with in that time period and return the car. I would contact the department of motor vehicles and better business bereau and see what they say. Good luck.
