Getting Lemon Justice — Relief Under Indiana Lemon Law

Indiana Lemon Law provides several options for a successful Lemon Law claimant. First, you may be awarded a replacement vehicle of the same year, make, and model. If you accept a replacement vehicle, the manufacturer must reimburse you for transfer fees, registration fees, and any sales tax resulting from the replacement. In addition, the financing arrangements for the replacement vehicle must be as good as those for the original vehicle. A refund can include:

• The full contract price of the vehicle
• Credits and allowances for any trade-in vehicle
• Sales tax
• Unexpended portion of registration fee and excise tax
• All finances charges paid
• Dealer-installed options
• Towing and car rental costs
• Attorney's fees

The amount of the refund may be reduced by a deduction for your use of the vehicle before you first took your vehicle in for repair. This is calculated by dividing the number of miles the vehicle has been driven when it is accepted for return by 100,000 and multiplying that by the total contract price of the vehicle.
