You can sue for anything, doesn't mean that you'll win.
If sold as is, then it's your baby to fix.
Lemon law "ONLY" pertains to new car sales, not used cars.
If the transmission was" bad way before you purchased it", how do you know it was bad before you bought it? Then why did you buy it?
When you bought the car, used, you assume all responsibility for the car. Sorry to say this, but you are responsible for the repair, not the dealer.
If you feel you go taken by the dealer, the only thing you can do, and the most damage you can do is word of mouth, tell everyone you know not to buy a car from them.
EDIT: for what it would cost to go to court, you could have the transmission fixed.
Ken, I have no idea what court you were in, but I've never heard of a court awarding to a buyer of an "as is" used car with over 100,000 miles on it. The only reason, and only reason would be if you could absolutely prove fraud in the case. Then that would bring criminal charges as well.
