More often, people who are not able to afford a new car opt for a second hand or used car that saves them a lot of money. While purchasing a car warranty is a good idea for any car owner or buyer, it is a must for every used car purchaser. Any defect, which is covered under a warranty, has to be treated by the seller free of cost. But if repeated services do not cure the problem and keep recurring, the car becomes a Lemon.

Used cars have special warranties regulated by special rules that are stated under a separate heading. Used car warranty law or the Lemon law is a special set of rules enforced by the states of the US. The law protects used car buyers against substandard or defective vehicles risks.

The chances of fraud are higher in a used car. Most state laws make car sellers liable to the buyers in case the car is faulty. They may even be forced to pay for legal fees, which a buyer might incur when a lemon case is filed. But whether the state has provisions for used cars in the lemon laws or not should be kept in consideration.
