If you’ve purchased a certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle in California that turns out to be defective, you might have more legal protection than you think. Although most people associate Lemon Law protections with new cars, the law also covers certain used vehicles.
Under California’s Lemon Law, you may be eligible for a refund, replacement vehicle, or cash settlement if your certified pre-owned car cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts. At American Lemon Law Group, we’ve helped more than 1,000 clients recover over $50 million. With a 99% success rate and 35+ years of combined experience, we know how to get winning results.

Certified Pre-Owned Cars and the California Lemon Law
In California, certified pre-owned vehicles are often covered under the manufacturer’s original warranty or an extended warranty offered at the time of sale. If the defect in your vehicle occurs during this warranty period, and the dealer or manufacturer can’t fix it after multiple tries, your vehicle may qualify as a “lemon.”
CPO cars must also meet strict criteria in California to be sold under that label. These include a thorough inspection, no frame damage, and a clear title. If the dealership failed to meet these standards (or if the car wasn’t properly inspected), your legal rights may be even stronger.
How Our Lawyers Can Help With Your Certified Pre-Owned Lemon Claim
Even with clear evidence of a defect, manufacturers don’t always make the process easy. That’s where American Lemon Law Group can step in and assist. Our lemon law attorneys will:
- Review your purchase documents and warranty
- Analyze the repair history and dealership communications
- Handle all negotiations with the manufacturer
- Push for the best available resolution, whether that’s a buyback, replacement, or cash
- Take legal action if the manufacturer refuses to cooperate
We’ll handle the legal legwork so you can focus on moving forward. Since we work on a contingency basis, you don’t owe anything unless we win compensation for your case.
