It is deemed under the statute that if there are at least three repair attempts or the vehicle cannot be used for 15 business days, then the vehicle does not conform to proper use. These are the requirements to meet the lemon law in the State of Mississippi. The test is different in every state.

VEHICLES COVERED The lemon law appears to cover used vehicles, but a leased vehicle unless acquired through a lease-purchase. The lemon law does not cover off-road vehicles, motorcycles, mopeds, or parts and components of a motor home that were added on and/or assembled by the manufacturer of the motor home.

TIME PERIOD FOR FILING CLAIMS An action must be commenced within the earlier of (1) one year following expiration of the express warranty, or (2) 18 months following the date of the vehicle's original delivery to a consumer.

The Mississippi lemon law can cover used cars as well, but it depends on the vehicle's warranty. Most used vehicles are sold ?as-is,? without a warranty, leaving a consumer without much legal recourse if the vehicle turns out to be defective.

If you buy a car "as is, " you must pay for all repairs, even if the car breaks down on the way home from the dealership. Mississippi requires the use of specific words to disclaim implied warranties. The Mississippi Attorney General Office prescribes the forms necessary to disclaim all implied warranties.

Mississippi and Federal Lemon Laws The dealer cannot keep trying to fix the car to run out of the clock. If they make three unsuccessful attempts to repair the car or the vehicle is out of service for 15 or more days, the dealer must replace it or buy it back from you.
