When purchasing a used vehicle, it is important to review the Buyers Guide, posted in the window of the car. The Buyers Guide will include details on the warranty status or list the vehicle “As-Is”. For “As-Is” vehicles, buyers will be solely responsible for any repairs that might come along with the used car. If the used car is new in age and is sold with a written warranty, it still might fall within a manufacturer’s warranty that could lead to lemon law coverage.
