LEMON LAW BUYBACK/REFUND CALCULATOR
LEMON LAW BUYBACK/REFUND CALCULATOR
It’s always exciting to get a new vehicle. However, that excitement might be replaced with frustration if you’ve had to have it repaired multiple times and you realize you may have purchased a lemon.
California, along with other states have lemon laws that may protect you in case you have been sold a defective vehicle.
What Lemon Law Solutions Are Available in California?
If your vehicle qualifies for protection under California’s Lemon Law, then you will be entitled to one of the following solutions:
1. Replacement of the Vehicle
In this situation, the dealership that you purchased your vehicle from will give you a vehicle that is similar to the one you purchased. This new motor vehicle should come equipped with the same options as your other vehicle, and, if it is applicable, the dealership will give you the same service contract.
You could also be entitled to receive a reimbursement for any fees that you contracted including any expenses for towing, rental vehicles, etc.
However, be aware that you could be made responsible for any price differences and usage fees for the time that you drove your first car without having any issues. The Los Angeles lawyers at Alpha Law Firm can assist you with the proper solutions for your particular set of circumstances.
2. Refund or Buyback
- The manufacturer would refund your down payment on the vehicle
- The manufacturer could refund any monthly payments
- Reimburse you for your motor vehicle’s taxes, registration fees, financing, and service contracts that were provided by them.
- Pay off your remaining loan amount and/or lease amount of your purchase of the defective vehicle.
How Can I Calculate My California Lemon Law Refund?
How your refund is calculated will all depend on how you answer the following questions:
- 1. How much did you pay for the vehicle?
- 2. How many miles did you drive the vehicle before it was first repaired?
- 3. How much money was your down payment?
- 4. What are your monthly payments?
- 5. How many payments have you made and what is the total amount of payments made?
- 6. What is your motor vehicle’s estimated usage fees?
- 7. What were you charged for registration fees?
- 8. What is the total amount of any other fees you have been charged that are for your defective motor vehicle?
- 9. Has your mileage been offset from the original amount? If so, by how much?
It’s important to note that every lemon law case is different, and you should speak to an experienced California Lemon Law lawyer about your individual circumstances.
Additionally, if you leased your vehicle instead of buying it, your refund may consist of the same expenses as outlined above, except the remaining balance of your lease obligation will be paid off instead of a remaining balance on a loan.
