Under
California Lemon law the manufacturer has a duty to come to you and offer a buyback if you
have given them a reasonable opportunity to repair your vehicle. But what
if you basically like the year make and model and just want one that works?
If you are looking at a replacement, your new vehicle must be comparable
to the vehicle being replaced. Ideally, it should be substantially identical
in make, model and options. http://www.normantaylor.com/blog/uncategorized/lemon-law-replacement/The
manufacturer must typically pay any sales tax and registration fees on
your new vehicle.
If you have a loan, you can usually do what is called a “substitution
of collateral.” You keep your existing loan, existing payments,
and existing interest rate, with full credit for all payments you have
made so far. You simply switch the lemon vehicle for the replacement vehicle
to which the loan applies.
