Lemon Law

[You Are Guilty]

Thanks JETX you got it right. Thanks also to You Are Guilty for pointing out my grammatical error. However, I might add, You Are Guilty is evidently a believer in the adage "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance then baffle them with BS."

You're welcome!

I disagree.... and though he was confused about his warranty, believe that my assumptions as to his questions are accurate.
Simply, the writer purchased a used car and the dealer sold him a 3rd party warranty. He was asking whether this warranty gave him any 'lemon law' rights. Your post was INCORRECT in that you assumed he was asking about the warranty, when that clealry was NOT what he was asking about.

I'm having the same troubles here in GA. This is what I have found: Yes - if you receive an express written warranty with the vehicle. An express written warranty can be either a) the balance of a manufacturer’s warranty, b) a separate limited warranty given by the dealer, or c) an extended warranty or service contract you purchase from the dealer at the time you purchase the vehicle. If you have such a warranty, the substance of the new car lemon laws apply.

In addition, some states have consumer protection statutes which prohibit deceptive acts in the sale of used cars. These laws generally require that a car dealer respond to every question honestly. To the extent that you purchased a used vehicle as a result of a false representation, you may have a claim against the dealership. Additionally, some states require that a dealership disclose certain facts about used cars, such as whether it was a rental, has been salvaged or used as a demonstrator even if the purchaser doesn't ask.

Your information is useless. It is not specific to the state that the OP is in, not to mention that this thread is nearly SEVEN years old!

Don't necropost.
