Dealer is always going to extreme lowball to get you into a new vehicle.
As for lemon law, it is only on new. I imagine the purchase dealer will let you know what "as is" means.
But that sucks, man!

Man that sucks. Carnival is also a crappy name. Why did they choose it?

They are going to try and "do him a favor". If you follow the VIN after, it goes right back into the auction line.

Don't let the dealer bully you, take it to a 3rd party. The dealership sounds extremely shady.

there's the dealer we're at now, and there's the car place we bought it from.

Sounds like a lot of that could be from something simple like a low-voltage battery.
