Down Payment
Lemon laws provide consumers with several statutory remedies. If you have a lemon vehicle, we may be able to resolve your case for 1 of these 3 possible results in negotiations with the Auto Manufacturers
1. Statutory Remedies
A refund of the purchase price you paid for the defective vehicle
Which includes:
-
-
Loan or Lease Payments
-
Sales Tax
-
Attorneys' Fees, Expert Fees, and Court Costs
-
Lease terminated or finance loan paid off at turn in
A replacement vehicle
Which means:
-
You get a brand-new vehicle that operates correctly (same make, model and trim level)
-
Your loan or lease continues at its current unpaid balance and will still run for the original term (the loan or lease is not extended).
-
Your prior payments are counted toward the loan or lease as if you still owned the defective vehicle.
-
The manufacturer pays your Attorneys' Fees, Expert Fees, and Court Costs.
2. Cash Settlement For Loss In Value
A 3rd alternative settlement for lemon law claims is the cash and keep settlement. The cash and keep settlement offers flexibility, compensation for the loss in value of the vehicle due to the unreasonable repair history, it allows the client to keep the vehicle, the warranty is still good OR the client can take the cash settlement and trade the vehicle in at any point after the settlement.
At Timothy Abeel & Associates, we have helped clients get cash compensation ranging from $2,000 to $20,000, depending on the original vehicle purchase price and their unreasonable repair history.
