Does the lemon law apply to cars bought "as-is"?

No. For a lemon law claim, there has to be a warranty. When a consumer buys a car "as-is", he or she is expressly disclaiming any warranty. However, the consumer may yet have a fraud claim, because fraud claims are not invalidated by an "as-is" purchase provision. Further, if the dealer or manufacturer does not comply with the law of clearly and conspicuously disclosing the "as-is" terms, then the consumer may have a lemon claim.  more
