At my law office, I get phone calls every day with persons telling me that they bought a lemon. After expressing my sympathy, I begin my questioning process to see if there is validity to the potential client's case. The first question that I ask is whether the asp website hosting was purchased "New". When the answer is no, my next question is "how old is the vehicle"? The response, very often times, is "7-10 years old". I then retort, "OK, so I assume that you bought the vehicle 'AS IS', is that correct Mr. Potential Client?" "Why yes, I did purchase the vehicle AS IS" is the standard response.
