Buying a car is not a decision that is made lightly by anyone. When you are spending tens of thousands of dollars, you are entitled to believe that you will receive a certain amount of longevity out of the vehicle and get reliable and safe transportation. In order to guarantee this, as a California resident you are offered certain protections if you end up on the wrong side of a defective vehicle sale. This set of laws are often referred to as the “Lemon Law”.

However, auto fraud applies to a wide range of circumstances such as: misrepresentations as to accident history or vehicle condition, concealment of accident history or vehicle condition, misrepresentations about allegedly “certified” vehicles, breach of the warranty of title overcharge of vehicle license fees, and non-disclosure of deferred down payments among other reasons.

      At what point do you have an Auto Fraud claim?

      There is a wide variety of ways that automobile dealerships attempt to increase their profits while defrauding consumers during the purchase or lease process. Some of these include: false advertising or not disclosing important limitations in pricing, altering contractual terms and/or forging signatures, inflating quotes of monthly payments and then selling add-on products as if they were part of the deal, and adding amounts owed on trade-in vehicles to a purchase or lease contract without disclosure to the consumer. In many cases these scams are very well-thought-out, and many people are not even aware they have been defrauded.

      California Lemon Laws serve as a way to protect consumers from predatory sales practices and dealerships. In other words, if a car is not performing as it should and the faults cannot be repaired in a reasonable amount of time, the vehicle is considered a lemon and the dealership or manufacturer may be responsible for repairing the vehicle or, depending on the circumstances of the violation, providing the customer with a refund.

      These laws pertain to a large array of motor vehicles, like cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, and boats, and can be drawn out and fairly complex, so it is very important that you have an experienced attorney in your corner to go the extra mile and get you the compensation and solution that you deserve. If you’re unsatisfied with your vehicle or you are experiencing prolonged maintenance issues, Armine Markosyan can step in to make sure the situation is resolved. She can help you work toward a settlement that ensures you can purchase or lease a vehicle that is safe and dependable.

      Make sure you know your rights as a consumer.

      Oftentimes as a consumer, many people do not fully understand the rights they have when it comes to purchasing defective automobiles. In many cases, people will actually throw out the product they bought and start from scratch at full cost only to themselves, and blaming their own judgement in picking a defective product to begin with. The Lemon Law is here to protect you and consumers like you that have purchased defective vehicles and provide you with monetary compensation in order to move forward.

      Specifically, the California Lemon Law gives the following to consumers that have obtained a faulty vehicle:

      • A full buy-back of the defective automobile (refund of all monies spent towards the car minus the trouble-free use value)
      • Replacing the defective car with a new and fault-free vehicle
      • Cash settlements
      • Payment of the consumer’s attorneys fees and costs associated with pursuing legal action.

      If you’re buying a used vehicle, it’s important to get sufficient information about it from the dealer. If you go on to purchase a vehicle but later feel the dealer misrepresented the sale to you, we can help you lay out a plan and find a solution to the problems that you are being faced with.

      If you think a dealer misrepresented a vehicle to you — whether that means giving you incorrect information about its mechanical history, its performance abilities, or something else — don’t hesitate to contact Armine Markosyan today. We would be happy to provide you with a consultation and set you on the right path to getting the car that you want and need, helping to ensure your safety in the process.
