I was sold a bad Kenworth T680

Lemon law does have exceptions and that would be things that are intentionally withheld from the buyer. That you can't do. If you ask if this truck has ever had a DPF issue and they say "no" and you can later prove that they lied, you CAN go after them.

"Buyer beware" is not quite as simple as some on here are trying to make it out to be. You can also say it's "Liar beware" as well.

 

WI is the only state with a lemon law for class 8 vehicles. And if you’re taking someone’s word about a truck without doing your own research then you sort of deserve what you get.

 

Don't lemon laws apply only to new vehicles? 4 years of neglect by a previous owner will turn any vehicle into a pile of garbage. Not really the manufacturer's fault in that case.

 

Those steer tires are ruined.

 

But no more problems with the DEF and warranty …..

 

Always find the positives.

 

Straight off Wisconsin website... (there is no lemon law for used vehicles - to answer your question)

What is the Lemon Law in Wisconsin?
While the Wisconsin lemon law definition varies depending on the vehicle’s date of purchase, these laws generally pertain to consumers who buy or lease a new motor vehicle that develops a major defect during the first year of operation.

The vehicle must also be less than one year old when the defects first develop, and consumers must purchase the automobile in the state of Wisconsin.

Under the state lemon law, the following must also be true:

• The defect developed while the vehicle’s warranty was still in effect AND
• The defect harms the vehicle’s value, use or safety AND
• The dealer attempted to fix the defect at least four times but failed OR
• The vehicle could not be used for at least 30 days

Under the new car lemon law, dealers must attempt to fix the vehicle’s defect at least four times before the automobile may qualify as a lemon, or the vehicle must be “out of service” for at least 30 consecutive or nonconsecutive days.

For instance, the vehicle may be “out of service” if its leaseholder, manufacturer or dealer attempts to repair it during that time.

Otherwise, the vehicle must be “out of service” because the manufacturer has attempted to fix it at least twice and driving the vehicle is unsafe to the consumer.
