Lemon laws were designed to protect the consumers if they are stuck with defective cars that the dealer could not get repaired despite reasonable attempts.
However, many people are not aware of their rights related to lemon laws. This blog explains what you can expect once you return a lemon law car.
If You Qualify Under Lemon Law, What Are You Entitled To?
Once you prove that your car qualifies as a lemon, you are entitled to receive a refund or a replacement. A refund would consist of your down payment, any monthly payments made to date, registration, taxes, and other expenses.
If you can prove that the manufacturer willfully failed or refused to repurchase the vehicle, you can also claim civil penalties up to two times the vehicle's purchase price. As in the case of Jeep lemons, where Chrysler settled claims, you are entitled to receive a settlement.
What Are Your Rights When Returning A Used Car?
A used car will qualify under lemon laws under manufacturer and/ or dealer warranty.
The consumer is eligible to receive a refund of all the money spent on the vehicle, any loan payoff, the payment of their attorney's fees, and civil penalties up to two times the vehicle's purchase price.
To conclude, consumers need to be aware of their rights related to lemon laws to file a claim. If you need assistance with lemon laws, please get in touch with the attorneys at Allen Stewart.
