Washington Lemon Law can provide you with protection from losses that you could experience when you have purchased a “lemon”. There have been some recent revisions made on the Washington lemon law that make it easier for buyers to be protected by their manufacturer’s warranties. With the old lemon law, many car buyers were sold cars that had already been returned to the manufacturer previously with other serious problems. The new lemon law forces dealers in Washington to disclose any and all information about the car so that buyers are aware of any issues with the vehicle before they purchase it. If the car does have problems, then they cannot sell it for the asking price and must take a percentage off in order to make up for the damages that the vehicle already has.
What Does the Washington Lemon Law Cover?
The revisions to the law include consumer notification:
-
If the car has been returned before
-
If the car has any recalled parts
-
If there has been any repairs made to the car
Having this information allows the consumer to make an informed choice. If any of the above conditions exist than the dealer would have to allot a discount. Whether the dealer is aware of the issues or not should they come to light and you wind up with a less than stellar vehicle the Lemon Law can help.
