Does the California Lemon Law apply to used vehicles?

Home - FAQs - Does the California Lemon Law apply to used vehicles?

YES! The California Lemon law applies to both used and pre-owned cars that are still covered by a dealer or manufacturer’s warranty. The law does not distinguish between new and used car purchases. As long as your vehicle meets the definition of a lemon, you can and should pursue compensation.

Additionally, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, often referred to as the “federal Lemon Law,” allows consumers to pursue breach of warranty claims for up to four years after the date of the breach of warranty. So if your car is still relatively new and has a defect that the dealer can’t seem to fix, touch base with us today for a free case review.
