If your new, used, or leased vehicle is deemed a lemon, you are entitled to a full buyback (reimbursement) of the vehicle from the manufacturer. This includes the down payment, any payments made on the loan, the loan payoff amount, vehicle registration, taxes, and all other official costs. Additionally, you can recoup all incidental costs that stemmed from the lemon – including rental car expenses, towing fees, cab fares, hotel stays, etc. Just be sure to keep ALL receipts. Get in contact with our team – we’d be happy to provide an estimate for your full buyback amount.
You can also request a replacement of the defective vehicle – which may be the same model or one of similar value. However, a replacement isn’t required by California lemon law like a buyback. The manufacturer doesn’t have to agree to a replacement, instead opting for the refund, aka buyback.
