At Shainfeld Law, our lemon law attorney in the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario metro area knows that buying or leasing a new or used car under warranty comes with a sense of pride. Not only are you enjoying being behind the wheel of a vehicle you do all the research on before buying, but knowing that the manufacturer will be responsible for fixing any covered issues will help you keep from spending any money on repairs for the next few years.
Unfortunately, some California vehicles do not begin exhibiting any signs of defects right away. And when they do, multiple trips to the dealership can be frustrating. Was there any way to see this coming? The short answer is no. While some vehicles may have more lemon law claims filed against them than others, it is challenging to predict which ones will actually be lemons.
Understanding how your car ranks in terms of value is crucial. The CarEdge Value Grade, a number determined by a proprietary algorithm, compares the average purchase price of a new model to its future resale value and ongoing maintenance, repair, and insurance costs.
This provides a clear and objective measure for consumers.
