The Massachusetts Lemon Law provides protection to consumers who purchase a new or used vehicle that has a substantial defect. The law allows consumers to return the vehicle to the dealer and receive a refund or replacement vehicle.
To be eligible for lemon law protection, the vehicle must have a substantial defect that impairs its use, value, or safety. The defect must be present at the time of purchase and must not be caused by the consumer. The defect must also be covered by the vehicle's warranty.
If you believe you may have purchased a lemon, you must notify the dealer within a reasonable amount of time. The dealer will then have an opportunity to repair the defect. If the dealer is unable to repair the defect, you may be eligible for a refund or replacement vehicle.
Return Policy for Used Cars
In addition to the Lemon Law, some used car dealers may also offer their own return policies. These policies may allow you to return a used car within a certain number of days if you are not satisfied with it. However, it is important to note that these policies are not required by law, and they may not be as generous as the Lemon Law.
Before purchasing a used car, it is important to read the dealer's return policy carefully. You should also ask the dealer about any warranties that are included with the vehicle. This will help you to understand your rights and options if you are not satisfied with the vehicle.
