No, the Florida Lemon Law only applies to new vehicles. However, the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects Floridians who purchase used cars. 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 you report the vehicle’s defect 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.
