Does The Lemon Law Apply To Used Cars?

Posted on by

Lemon laws are American state laws that provide help for purchasers of cars and other consumer goods who have bought products that repeatedly fail to meet the standards of quality and performance.

Each state imposes different requirements for their lemon laws, but a basic condition common to almost all jurisdictions is that in order for the lemon law to apply, the automobile or product must have been purchased with a warranty. Products purchased “as is” are typically not covered by state or federal lemon laws.

The California lemon law applies to all new and used vehicles, whether purchased or leased, for personal and most small business use. Learn more about the California Lemon Law Requirements
