  1. A "lemon" in legal terms means a vehicle, within certain mileage and age parameters, that has a history of repeated failures (the same problem over and over, the dealer can't fix it).  If your vehicle fits into this category, and it varies by state, then you need to find out your states procedure for filing a claim under the lemon law. If you bought a used car, with no warranty, the dealer has absolutely no obligation to do anything for you.


  2. i live in pa and in our state we have lemon laws we have a phone number 1-800-lemon law, i don't know if this would pertain to where you live but it would be worth checking out..good luck

  3. If it's truly being considered  a "Lemon law vehicle" by the manufacture (and the state, including brandishing the title of the car "Lemon" for ever). The dealership SALES department would have almost nothing to do with it. You would be speaking with the service department and the manufacture directly.

    It sounds like your trading the car in for another one and the trade will end up on there used car lot.

    If you check the laws in your specific state you should find that under the Lemon Law you would get ALL you money back (including interest and reg. fees) and they take the vehicle back.

  4. How was it determined that "it's a lemon"? If YOU determined that, it means nothing to a dealer. Just because you have a few problems doesn't mean you have a "lemon" under the law.

    If you did indeed file for protection under the Lemon Law, and it was determined that you have one, you would have returned the car to the dealer (the manufacturer would have taken it back).

    Sounds like all the dealer is doing is just a good old-fashioned trade in.

    Do you have more info you can provide? Sounds like something's missing.

  5. El Grande is 100% correct.  Lemon law is determined by the mfg not the dealer, and there is a whole big process to go through.

  6. lemons can only be new vehicles you know that right so laws wont apply,
