Does lemon law apply to vehicles bought “as is”?
No. For a lemon law claim, there has to be a warranty. When a consumer buys a car “as is,” the buyer has expressly disclaimed any warranty. However, a fraud claim may still exist since fraud claims are not invalidated by “as is” purchase provisions. Further, if the dealer or manufacturer does not clearly and conspicuously disclose the “as is” purchase provision terms, the consumer may have a lemon law claim.
