Sour Deals: Unraveling the Benefits of the Lemon Law

If you have purchased or leased a vehicle or motorcycle, either brand new, certified pre-owned, or used but still covered by the factory warranty, that has been subject to four or more repairs under the original manufacturer’s warranty for the same problem, you may be entitled to relief under the lemon law. This financial compensation may be in the form of a full repurchase, a replacement, or a “cash and keep” settlement.

In a repurchase, the manufacturer will reimburse you for your down payment, all monthly payments, current registration fee, and any other out of pocket expenses such as towing fees or rental car fees. The manufacturer will deduct a mileage offset, which is a credit to the manufacturer for the “good miles” on the vehicle. The mileage offset is calculated using the vehicle’s mileage at the time of the first repair, divided by 120,000, and then multiplied by the original purchase price.

In addition, the manufacturer will pay off the entire balance owed on the auto loan, take the vehicle back from you, and brand the title as a lemon law buyback. The only other items that may be deducted from a settlement are those items added to the purchase that were not added to the vehicle at the factory such as service contracts, gap insurance, or other aftermarket items.

Another form of relief that you may receive from the manufacturer is a vehicle replacement. This means that the manufacturer will replace your vehicle with the same model from the current year, take your vehicle back, and the terms of your auto loan will stay in place. The only amount that the consumer is required to pay in a replacement is the mileage offset which is calculated using the vehicle’s mileage at the time of the first repair, and the difference in MSRP from the consumer’s vehicle to the MSRP of the brand new vehicle. The old vehicle’s title is still branded as a lemon law buyback.

If your vehicle’s problem does not substantially impair your use, value, or safety, you may still be entitled to a “cash and keep” settlement, which means that the manufacturer will not repurchase your vehicle, but they will pay you a sum of cash for your hassle and inconvenience.

The time spent pursuing your case and the fees and costs associated with your representation are paid to the firm directly by the automobile manufacturer. The California Lemon Law Group represents clients at absolutely no cost, and our billed fees and costs are lower than those at most other lemon law firms, which means that our clients receive the greatest settlements.
