The used car warranty law is a remedy for local purchasers or lessees who do not have a manufacturer’s warranty on relatively new cars. The used car market has been rapidly increasing with the demand for affordable cars. For many, a brand new car can exceed a budget.  However, a used car can be obtained in top condition at much cheaper prices. As such, used car warranties and used car warranty laws have been devised to assist consumers.

 

When purchasing a vehicle the used car warranty law, or the used car lemon law, can be obtained from the dealer. It should be examined before the time of purchase. It is your right to understand the terms and conditions of the warranty, as well as what you are entitled to under the used car warranty law. Even if the dealer does not give you the written lemon law warranty, under the law you are entitled to all its benefits.

 

Some of the main parts that should be covered by the used car warranty law are the engine, the transmission, drive axle, brakes, steering, radiator, alternator, generator, starter and the ignition system (excluding the battery).
