You have surely heard of the adage, let the buyer beware. With every purchase that you make as a consumer, you run the risk of ending up with something defective. When purchasing a new car, you could end up with lemon cars, referring to the same sour feeling you get when you eat a lemon. Lemon cars are those with one or several malfunctions that were not seen at the point of purchase. Usually, the problem has to occur three times in a row for it to fall under the category of lemon cars. Furthermore, lemon cars need to be unresponsive to any previous attempts of repair before it can be termed as such.

If you are aware of the lemon law for cars, then you could save yourself a lot of trouble. For most government laws to apply to a lemon car, it should be a new car, not a used one. Each state has different qualifications and criterion as to what qualifies as lemon cars and you have to find these out for yourself. Always remember to notify both the manufacturer and the dealer of these lemon cars through a written statement, detailing all the defects and malfunctions you have experienced. If you have bought one of these lemon cars, the course of action is usually for the manufacturer to buy back the car from you or to exchange it for a new one.

The lemon law for used cars, on the other hand applies to those lemon cars which have a substantial warranty defect. There are also nine states in the United States with a used car lemon law and if you reside in one of those, then you have yourself a case. There are also a number of websites on the Internet which will guide your buying decisions for used cars since they offer a history report for the models they are selling.
