A purchaser of a new car may obtain financing from a variety of sources, including a bank, credit union, loan company, or car dealer. These laws cover new cars and may also cover used cars.
Some states require four repair attempts on the same problem within six months.
Other states define a lemon as a car that is out of commission for more than thirty nonconsecutive days during the year when the dealer sold it, or the duration of an express warranty, whichever is shorter. You can check with your state's consumer protection office for the exact requirements of your state's lemon laws. If you suspect that your car is a lemon, you should notify the manufacturer and the dealer. You should also keep a copy of all receipts. Most states' lemon laws also require you to go through arbitration, which is a settlement process conducted by a neutral person outside of court.
