PA Lemon Law Blog

The amount of phone calls that our office is receiving concerning AS IS purchases is steadily on the rise.  The most common question is whether they can make the seller buy back the “lemon” that they just purchased.  Unfortunately, the answer is typically no.  An AS IS sale means that the purchaser is taking the vehicle AS IS, with all known and unknown defects.  When you make that type of purchase, you are assuming the risk that something will go wrong with these types of vehciles.  Mot times, something does go wrong with that vehicle, and you are left with no recourse.  Our best advice is to use caution and care when purchasing a used vehicle, always have your mechanic check it out first.
