State Lemon Laws Vary
January 27th, 2012 . by adminIt can be devastating for a person who has just moved to a particular state to operate off of the rules that they knew to be true in other states which end up hurting their chances of resolving a problem in the new state because the rule was completely different and invalidating any efforts by the person who was looking to fix something in the new state where they resided. One of the biggest changes that often occur when people move to a different state is how the lemon law for vehicles might cause a vehicle that would have been considered a lemon in one state to not be considered such in the new state.
For example, if someone from California was well read and knowledgeable about California Lemon Law and then moved to Oregon, a vehicle that a person bought and found was a lemon a short time later might have been eligible under the California version of the law but might have actually run out time for the vehicle to be considered such under Oregon law. This is why when a person moves to a new state it’s always a good idea to look into the major types of laws that a person might end up having to deal with just to make sure that any differences are known well ahead of time.
Lemon laws are one of those types of laws that are worth a read when a person arrives in a new state because being unable to take care of a problem car could be very problematic for any vehicle owner.
