As a car buyer, the last thing you want is a faulty, unsafe
vehicle. These situations do happen, though, and these cars are called lemons.
Help yourself and possible other buyers down the road by taking action as
quickly as possible.
Do Your Research
In order to prove that your used car is a lemon, you need to
do some research. Go online and try to find vehicle reports. Most of the time,
you just need your vehicle’s VIN or vehicle identification number. This is
usually located on the corner of the dashboard. There are search sites you can
enter this number in, bringing up helpful information about your car’s history.
Look for details like branded titles, previous accident
reports, and any hidden problems associated with the said car. You should also
have your car inspected by a trusted mechanic, who can analyze the car and
document any problems that make the car unsafe to drive.
Hire an Attorney
If your car is not fixed by the authorized dealer or
problems keep occurring, get in touch with an attorney. Find a lawyer that specializes in lemon
law, as they can help resolve the issue much quicker than you can. After all,
dealers that run the risk of going to court are much more responsive and
willing to work things out. Their reputation is at stake. You may even be able to
settle out of court.
