Getting Lemon Justice – Relief Under MA Lemon Law

Massachusetts 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.

You may also qualify for a refund of all the money you paid for the car, which can include:

• The full contract price
• Sales tax
• Registration fees
• Finance charges paid on your loan
• Cost of dealer-installed options
• Towing and vehicle rental costs
• Non-dealer added options
• Incidental costs
• Attorney’s fees

The amount of the monetary reward may be reduced by a use deduction for the total mileage on the vehicle. This amount is calculated by dividing the total contract price by 100,000 and multiplying that amount by the mileage driven since delivery. For motorcycles, the use allowance is calculated by dividing the contract price by 25,000. The award may also be reduced by the total amount of dealer allowances and rebates or settlements.
