( Legal )



New Jersey lemon law protects consumers from purchasing defective pre owned vehicles. The lemon law requires the car dealers to repair the car damages free of charge.

New Jersey lemon law does not cover damages caused by accident and negligence. The damages considered are those that are pre existing. The lemon law only covers cars that are used for personal purposes.

Upon returning the damaged car, the car dealer is given three attempts to repair the damage. If the dealer fails to repair the damage after a certain period, you are entitled to a full refund. The dealer can offer to trade in the car instead, but the choice is yours. If you decide to have your car replaced by a different one, you are entitled to a refund if the replacement car is cheaper than the previous one.

Purchasing a pre owned car may be the practical thing to do, but remember that there are several risks. Have the car checked thoroughly to detect malfunctions as soon as possible.

The New Jersey lemon law provides a warranty period. If you detect the damage within this period, you must immediately notify the car dealer about the damages and subject the vehicle to repairs. When the warranty period expires, you will be responsible for the car repairs.

The lemon law covers most parts of the car such as damages to engines, transmissions etc. If any of the covered parts are damaged, your car dealer must have them repaired within a certain period.

If the car dealer failed to repair your vehicle and refuses to give you a full refund, you can file for claims under the New Jersey lemon law. Like with the California criminal law, if you win the hearing, you will be awarded the full refund plus all the related expenses such as lawyer and processing fees.
