Buying, Selling, or Leasing a Vehicle

Lemon Laws

May I drive the car while we are deciding whether or not it is a lemon?

Yes, you may drive the car (if it is drivable), but be aware that, if the car does indeed turn out to be a lemon, the law usually allows the seller to deduct a certain amount from your refund based on the miles you have driven. This applies to both new and used car sales.
