For those who don’t know the term, a lemon is simply a car that you have purchased that turned out to be riddled with problems. Although there are laws at the federal level that address this issue, they mostly concern new cars. However, federal used car Lemon Law is addressed in certain situations, and there are also laws at the state level. The following are a few situations when you may have legal recourse over your problem car.
You had a warranty with the cr
Many used car dealers will offer a warranty with the car. This is something that is purchased separately with the car and is entirely optional. But there are warranties that are included with the car as a part of the purchase. These warranties are often limited in their coverage, but they may be enough for an attorney to help you recover costs associated with the car. Another example is when the car still has a warranty from the original owner. This is common when the auto is a late model, used car. In all of these situations, a used car may be covered by one or more federal laws regarding the purchase of a lemon.
You live in a state with lemon laws
Federal laws are often limited in their scope when the car is used. For this reason, there are states that have passed many used car Lemon Laws to protect consumers. For this reason, it is important that you speak to an attorney in the state you bought your car.
