Federal Trade Commission's Tips on Buying a Used Car

Manuel Avoids Car-Buying Trouble - A Fotonovella from the Federal Trade Commission
 

When a new vehicle has been purchased with a manufacturer's warranty and had a defect that substantially impairs its use and market value within the first 24,000 miles, or within the first two years of purchase whichever comes first; and that defect is not repaired after a "reasonable number of attempts," the consumer may have recourse under Colorado's Lemon Law. Colorado's Lemon Law covers only new self-propelled vehicles, including pickups and vans. Motor homes and motorcycles are excluded from the Lemon Law.
