Lemon Laws In California

I bought a 2005 chrysler sebring on 12/30/2009 for $2000. I bought it, “AS IS”. The seller said he does not know if there’s anything wrong with it or not. I towed to a garage and apparently, there is a lot of problems with this car. Head gasket, cracked heads, burned intakes, timing chain, water pump, and a couple of other things. About $2000 worth of repairs. I live in the state of California and i bought the car is California. Is this car considered a lemon?

Is there anywhere that I can check car history, car facts, and/or lemon law issues on line? I am in the process of buying a new car and would like to check out the background on them before I decide to do this. Any sites where I can find out anything about used cars, or find out the things I have listed above, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and for reading this.
