Does California Lemon Law apply if I bought the car here but moved?

Plain-English Answer

Song-Beverly generally protects consumers who buy or lease warranted vehicles in California. If you purchased in California and the defect was reported during warranty, you may still have California remedies even if you later moved. If you bought out of state, another state’s Lemon Law may apply instead. Where you bought, where warranty repairs occurred, and where the manufacturer is sued all matter. CLINE APC focuses on California-purchased vehicles.
