One of the reasons why people opt to purchase a brand-new vehicle is because they don’t want to deal with repairs in the near future. Since they are the first owner of the vehicle, they can be sure it will be taken care of properly, which means major repairs are put off for several years. Unfortunately, things don’t always go so well for some who buy a new vehicle.
Some have had the experience of dealing with a lemon. If you think the new vehicle you purchased is a lemon, you should get familiar with Illinois Lemon Law. Here are a few basics to get you started.
Federal and state consumer protection laws are designed to help consumers who have leased or purchased defective goods. The law makes it possible for a person to have their money fully refunded or for the defective good to be replaced. Before pursuing a case, you should speak with a professional who is familiar with Illinois Lemon Law. They will examine in your case and provide guidance on how to proceed.
When it comes to a new vehicle that has been leased or purchased for personal use, a consumer may be entitled to a complete replacement or refund. If they receive a refund, it will usually include the down payment, monthly payments, incidental expenses, taxes, and registration. They may also be entitled to fees associated with hiring a lawyer and other costs associated with pursuing the case.
