Lemon Laws for Used Cars:
You may be able to file for a lemon if you receive an express written warranty with the vehicle. An express written warranty can be the balance of a manufacturer’s warranty, a separate limited warranty given by the dealer, or 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 lemon laws for used cars 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.
It is important to ask questions about the car you are looking at! In most cases the dealer will not provide information if you do not ask. Check the state you live in for lemon laws for used cars, each state is different.
