Does the Florida Lemon Law Apply to Used Cars?

Home - FAQs - Does the Florida Lemon Law Apply to Used Cars?

Although the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects Floridians who purchased used cars, the Florida Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act only applies only to new vehicles. Regardless of which law provides the protection, what matters is that YES, a consumer who purchases a used lemon in Florida may be entitled to compensation.

The federal Lemon Law does not distinguish between new and used vehicles. As long as the vehicle’s defect is first reported during the warranty period, it’s covered by the law. Plus, you have up to five years from the date of the breach of warranty to file a claim. And in some cases, vehicles may be classified as lemons under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act after just one (1) repair attempt.
