In
Arizona, the lemon law applies to both new as well as used cars.
“Lemon” is the term used to refer to a car, which seems to be in
good condition, at the time of purchase, but later it is found to be
having problems in it. Arizona
used car lemon law
is to protect consumer rights in such situations.
What
does the used car lemon law in Arizona cover?
According
to the Arizona lemon laws, only new cars are eligible for full
protection. Used car buyers do not have as much protection. The
reasoning behind this is that any second-hand car must have problems
in it. Also, some issues do not happen until the owner or driver
changes. The protection for used cars is 15 days or 500 miles of
travel, whichever comes first. If the car breaks down during this
period, the owner needs to pay up to $25 of the first two repairs. If
the dealer is unable to repair the car within two visits, the owner
is entitled to a refund of the selling price.
What
are the dealer’s and manufacturer’s duties?
According
to the used car lemon law in Arizona, the dealer should make a
reasonable number of tries to fix the car and defines reasonable as:
-
Up to four car workshop repair visits
-
A combined total of 30 days in the workshop
The
owner can ask for a replacement if the dealer is unable to bring the
car to an acceptable state.
When
buying an Arizona used car, lemon law is something you should check
out, so that you do not get conned into a raw deal.
