Boats, Motorcylces And Vehicles Under The Lemon LawsThere are many different products that qualify under lemon laws in different states, including motorcycles, boats and cars. There is also a used vehicle lemon law in most states, which is applicable as long as the buyer did not know about any of the defects when they purchased the vehicle. California has some of the most comprehensive lemon laws, though, which is fitting because it is such a transportation-driven state. The Boat California Lemon Law and Motorcycle California Lemon Law state that any boat or motorcycle which displays defects during the warranty period is considered a "lemon," as long as the buyer gave the manufacturer chances to repair it. The law states that the warranty period lasts for 18,000 miles or 18 months, whichever comes first. The used vehicle lemon law is very similar, but the consumer must be able to prove that the dealer did not sell them the vehicle "as-is." All of the lemon laws in California state that the consumer must give the manufacturer or dealer three chances to repair the vehicle, boat or motorcycle before they can enter arbitration. Under the Vehicle, Boat and Motorcycle California Lemon Law, there is also a provision called the arbitration procedure, which is meant for any vehicle purchased after 1986. In this procedure, the Better Business Bureau auto line department assigns an arbitrator to listen to both sides of the story and decide the outcome of the case. In approximately 99 percent of cases under the lemon laws, though, the decision is made in favor of the plaintiff. The compensation is typically equal to the cost of the vehicle, but the consumer can also choose to receive a replacement car, truck, RV, boat or motorcycle of the same make and model. |
