Tennessee lemon laws do not apply to the sale and purchase of used vehicles. The law specifies that only purchasers or new vehicles are protected.
What is the Lemon Law
Tennessee lemon law states that the seller is responsible for giving a refund or an equal replacement vehicle to any purchaser of a new vehicle that is defective and that can't be repaired in three attempts or 30 days by the manufacturer, agent of the manufacturer or the dealer themselves. Refusal to provide a refund or replacement would be a crime.
Where to Find the Lemon Law
Tennessee's lemon laws are in Title 55, Chapter 24 of the Tennessee Code. They were reprinted in the 2007 edition of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act and Related Laws under the heading "Facts About the Lemon Law".
Defective Used Cars
According to the rules of the Tennessee Motor Vehicle Commission, the purchaser of a defective vehicle from a licensed or unlicensed seller has no legal recourse. The dealer must honor any warranty they may have provided, but has no further obligation to the purchaser.
