Buying a vehicle that is a lemon can give you terrible headache. Sometimes, this is the good thing about buying a brand new transportation - the chances of being a lemon is almost nil and should there be terrible problems, the manufacturer or dealer can readily replace your unit. But with a second-hand vehicle, there could be terrific problems.
What is the lemon law all about?
The lemon law provides that if you have recently purchased a vehicle and it does not satisfy the warranty that covers it, the seller has the responsibility to conduct the necessary repairs. In the event repairs had not been made within the specified period, the seller will replace the unit or will refund the cost for which it was bought.
Each of the states of USA has lemon laws, different provisions there may be but nonetheless still about the sale of vehicles that do not meet the warranty. In the state of Arizona, the lemon law is discussed explicitly in the Arizona Revised Statues. These are contained in Sections 44-1261 to 44-1267 of san Arizona law.
Breach of this law happens under any of these conditions. The car manufacturer or dealer sold a vehicle that does not conform to the service warranty through the failure of repairing the vehicle or fixing whatever damage occurs. This weakens the value of the vehicle. Another breach ensues when the manufacturer or dealer does not want to accept the return and full refund of the cost of the vehicle in view of failure to repair the damage.
In the event the manufacturer or dealer does not conform and the lemon Law is violated, the buyer has the right to institute legal actions. It is in situations like this that you will need a lawyer experienced in this field of the law, should your manufacturer or dealer refuses to give in to your demands. Your legal rights can only be defended by a credible and good Lemon Law attorney.
With the rights given to you as buyer, the law does not curtail the seller from proving their non-failure to conform to the warranty of the sale. The manufacturer or dealer is not an outright loser because like the buyer, the seller also has the right to defend himself. First, there is a provision that the damage should occur within a specified time or distance traveled from the time of purchase. If this is not violated other lines of defense are still possible.
The seller can reason out that the non-conformity of the vehicle to the warranty does not really damage the usability and market value of the vehicle. In other words, the damage is not too much and is negligible. Another line of defense is the poor treatment of the buyer on the vehicle which caused the damage and ultimate non-conformity to the warranty.
Buyers of vehicles are protected by the Lemon law. This requires the seller to conform to the warranty of the purchase. On the other hand, the seller has his right to defend why non-conformity happens. Whether you are a buyer or seller, you are protected by this law. However, you will necessarily need a lawyer to defend your side, especially so when the other party is represented by an attorney.
