Only new, previously unowned vehicles purchased or leased directly from a dealer within the last 24 months are eligible for Lemon Law compensation in Florida and Georgia. The settlement is equal to the full purchase price of the vehicle, including dealership fees and closing costs, minus standard depreciation.
To qualify as a lemon, a vehicle must be less than 24 months old, spend 30 or more days in service at a dealership or require 3 or more visits to the dealership to repair the same problem.
You may not file a claim for a used vehicle under the Florida or Georgia Lemon Law, regardless of where it was purchased.
