What is Used Car Lemon Law?

Used Car Lemon Law May Protect Buyers of Pre-owned Cars

The prevailing myth is that there is no used car lemon law. Wrong!

Used car lemon law varies from state to state. While some states provide protection only for new cars, many other states have used car lemon laws or have separate laws covering used vehicles. In some states the law is so confusing that even the state’s Attorney General office will advise consumers to contact an attorney for clarification about whether a used or a leased vehicle is covered.

In Ohio, Lemon laws cover passenger cars, light trucks (no more than one ton load capacity and not used in business), and motorcycles. Also includes chassis portion of motor homes.
