Lemon Law: Which Is Best, Refund Or Replacement?

It is important that a consumer makes an informed choice as to the available options when it comes to a defective vehicle. For example, a refund can include the down payment, all monthly payments made including finance charges, and the loan balance fully paid off. It can also include sales tax and registration fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the defective vehicle such as rental cars, towing, repairs and storage.

If replacement is chosen as a remedy, replacement must be with a new vehicle comparable in make, model and options to the vehicle being replaced. The manufacturer must typically pay any sales tax and registration fees on the new vehicle. If the defective vehicle was still under the terms of a loan, the consumer can normally keep the existing loan and full credit for all payments made.
