If you are planning on purchasing a car or have already purchased one within the last year (or 18,000 miles) this this information may be very important to you.

Every state in the United States has a lemon law that says if you purchase a new or used car and it is a lemon you should get some form of compensation. If you had to take your car to the shop more than three times for the same problem, if your car has been out of service for the past 30 days, or if you’ve tried to contact the dealer and they’ve failed to attempt to fix the problem then you have a case.

If you live in Ohio you are at an advantage because they have the strongest lemon law in the nation.
