What is a Used Car Lemon Law?

A used car can be considered a 'lemon' if it has substantial defects that have been unsuccessfully repaired by the manufacturer or dealer within a certain period of time or mileage. The purpose of these laws is to protect consumers from unfair practices and faulty vehicles.

Buying a used car comes with a few risks that aren't as major as those associated with purchasing a new vehicle. While the law mandates sellers to disclose any significant accidents the used vehicle has experienced and strictly prohibits mileage tampering, these unethical practices still happen. Therefore, it falls upon the buyers to thoroughly examine every facet of a used vehicle and accept it in its current state.

Only a few states have lemon laws for used cars:

How Does Used Car Lemon Law Protect Me?

Used car lemon laws vary from state to state in the United States, and they generally provide some level of protection to buyers of used vehicles. These laws typically address situations where a used car has significant defects that substantially impair its use, value, or safety. Here's how they may protect you:

Warranty Coverage: In some cases, if you purchase a used car that is still under its original manufacturer's warranty, you may be able to have defects repaired by the manufacturer or its authorized dealers at no cost to you.

Implied Warranties: Many states have laws that implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose on used cars sold by dealers. This means that the car should be fit for its intended use, and if it's not, the dealer may be required to repair it.

Statutory Lemon Laws: Some states have lemon laws that apply to used cars. These laws usually require the dealer to repair a significant defect within a certain number of days or repair attempts. If the issue isn't fixed, the law may require the dealer to provide a refund or replacement.

Used Car Inspection: Lemon laws often require dealers to provide a written warranty or a vehicle inspection report for certain used cars. This can give you some assurance about the car's condition.

"I think highly of their services and would recommend them for any lemon law case."
In 2013, I leased a high-end car, but immediately discovered a number of problems, especially sudden braking or sudden acceleration. After taking the car to various authorized dealerships, none were able to fix the problem. The manufacturer was unwilling to admit that a problem existed. After talking with a number of attorneys, I was impressed that Alex concentrated on lemon-law cases. I sent Alex all of my detailed records, he gave me a likely timeframe, and he was able to get the manufacturer to take the car back within that time-frame. I think highly of his services and would recommend him in such lemon-law cases.

"I was screwed on a new car and they helped get a refund!"
I got screwed on a new car. After fighting the dealership on my own for 6 months and getting nowhere, Alex was able to get me a refund within a reasonable amount of time (about six months, without court). I will use him again if I have to.

"National Lemon Law Center provided me excellent service during the entire process."
My initial hearing with the State Attorney General was dismissed, and I decided to give it one more try through an attorney.I initially contacted the firm in early February 2013. They responded in three days requesting for documents necessary to review the case. Once I sent them the documents, they responded within a week to let me know that they will take the case. by mid-March, they let me know that they are working with the car company. Yesterday (4/16/13), I went out to my local dealership for them to buyback my car. They paid for the remaining balance of my loan, and paid me the difference in check.Throughout the whole process, Mr. Simanovsky directly communicated with me through either by phone or e-mail to let me know what was going on, which I found to be very pleasantly surprising.This was the kind of service that you always hope for, but not normally expected to receive.
