The used car warranty law, or used car lemon law, is provided in some states for vehicles that are not covered by a manufacturer’s warranty. This law provides a solution for buyers of vehicles that do not have the proper documentation. This law still allows purchasers or lease owners to benefit from hassle free repair and servicing normally issued to new cars. However, under this law there are special characteristics that define a used car and only when the car falls under these conditions is it covered by the used car warranty law. Some of these conditions are listed below.
The car must have been originally purchased, leased or transferred after 18,000 miles of operation or two years from first delivery. The vehicle should have had a purchase price of at least $1,500 and been used primarily for personal purposes only.  In addition, the vehicle should have been driven 100,000 miles or less at the time of purchase or lease. Under the law, cars that fall under these categories are those that will benefit from the used car warranty law. These laws tend to differ from state to state, so one should research the laws for your state.
