REPLACED OR REPURCHASED VEHICLES?
The manufacturer is required to obtain a new title with a brand or stamp: “Manufacturer Buyback-Disclosure On File.” This stamp or brand should remain on the vehicle’s title for the life of the vehicle. The first time a dealer sells a replaced or repurchased lemon, the dealer must provide the buyer with:
Written notice, at the time of sale, that the vehicle was repurchased or replaced under the Lemon Law, and
A 12-month or 12,000 mile manufacturer’s warranty People failing to comply with the buy-back disclosure and title branding requirements are subject to enforcement action by the attorney general’s office. However, the Lemon Law does not permit the attorney general to represent consumers in seeking a refund or a replacement vehicle.
