What elements to I need to establish to bring a lemon law lawsuit in WA state

It sounds like you bought a used car. Most state lemon laws cover only vehicles bought new but that doesn't mean you're out of luck. Every state has other laws that may be able help you out. If you got any kind of written warranty at all then the Commercial Code in your state may help. Under that law, the warrantor has to fix warranty-covered problems within a reasonable number of chances and within a reasonable amount of time. The federal warranty law, the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, may also apply. Every state also has an Unfair and Deceptive Acts & Practices (Udap) law that generally makes it illegal for any retailer to do anything that is unfair or deceptive to a consumer. For most of these laws you'd have the right to compensation for the warranty breach. The different model number designation could trigger a violation of the same laws and maybe fraud too. While every state has it own technical definition, in most states Fraud is basically just a lie that costs you money. For that you may have the right to compensation and perhaps punitive damages to punish the car dealer for lieing to you. However, in used car cases, your paperwork is critical. You need to meet with an experienced Consumer Law attorney who knows Car Law (not many attorneys do) and explain everything and show them your paperwork. Then they can tell you what your legal rights are. Be careful to act quickly though because for every legal right you have, you only have a limited amount of time before your legal rights run out and you are stuck.
