California Lemon Law

In accordance with the National Institute for Consumer Education statistics, purchasing a new car may cost about $18.000 that makes it one of the most expensive propositions an individual can make. Some people prefer less expensive alternatives, like buying a used vehicle. In the latter case it’s easier to negotiate, the price is lower and also lower is the insurance cost. Others can afford buying a brand new car. Nevertheless, in both cases no one is ensured against buying a deficient automobile. Since most of us rely on the advice and mercy of a salesman, we can’t be insured against purchasing a deficient automobile. That’s why a California lemon law was invented- to protect the American consumers.

 If you have bought yourself a new, used, certified pre-owned car, van, truck or other vehicle that still has a manufactured warranty, and if you’ve bought the vehicle in the state of California, you will be entitled to protection both under California lemon law and the Federal used car lemon law. It provides legal protection for any vehicle that has been certified, has an extended warranty for the manufacturer’s original warranty, can provide compensation in a form of a replacement or refund. In other words, California lemon law protects anyone who has leased or purchased a vehicle, still covered by a manufacturer’s original warranty.

The law basically covers used cars bought for personal or family purposes, cars with a gross weight below 10,000 pounds used for business purposes (up to five vehicles registered for a company), vehicles sold with a written warranty. California lemon law makes refunds for lemon cars, bought back by manufacturer and resold to the consumer with a manufacturer warranty covering the defects.
