Are you living in New York or
planning to move to this state? Are you planning to buy a new car soon or
thinking of getting a used car? Know
your rights, know how you are protected by the law, and save yourself from
experiencing the sourness of being preyed in a fraudulent transaction.
Over the years car-related cases amassed in the New York
State. People grudged having purchased
defective cars. Many resent for having
spent so much on repairs and maintenance.
With this, the state passed the Lemon Law to protect New Yorkers from
cheats and inconveniences.
The Lemon Law though is only valid for non-motorcycles, non-off-road
cars costing not less than $1500. The
car should be for personal use only and does not exceed 100,000 in
mileage. Also, the seller should not be
a private party, but should be a person or corporate selling since 12 months
ago of at least 3 units.
Basic thing for New Yorkers when buying new or used cars is
to know the history of the car, determine the mileage, and seek for
warranty. If the company refuses to
release the latter then the transaction is more likely to be deceptive. Should the person or the company does
otherwise it is beneficial to get the car an extended warranty as quite a
number of damages are not included.
Transmission and engine problems among other potential critical vehicle
issues should be taken into account.
Settlement of lemon issues can be done between transacting
entities, however when cases become disconcerting, buyers could always get a
lawyer and bring their case to court.
The period of prescription for this lawsuit is 4 years.
So, when in New York, get yourself acquainted with the NYS law
and know your rights.
