If the lemon law claim is successful and the vehicle's value is determined to be $14,000, the mileage offset calculation would be ((10,000/120,000) x $20,000), which is equal to $1,666.67.

The Massachusetts Lemon Laws require private parties selling used cars to inform buyers about all known defects which impair the safety or substantially impair the use of the vehicle. The law applies to all private party sales regardless of the price or mileage.

A private party doesn't need to give you a warranty, but they do have to tell you about any defects before you buy the car. If they don't tell you about a known problem, you have 30 days to cancel the sale and get your money back. You're also protected under the Massachusetts Inspection law.

Massachusetts does not have a specific Lemon Law for appliances akin to the one for vehicles. However, consumers are not without protection; the state's implied warranty law comes into play here. This law essentially guarantees that goods, including appliances, are fit for the general purposes for which they are sold.

If your car is eligible, you must be able to demonstrate specifically how the use, safety, or market value is substantially impaired by the defect. To prove the market value impairment, you must show that your vehicle is worth at least 10% less than it would be without the defect.

A vehicle is considered a lemon if it has at least one defect that substantially that impairs the use, safety, or market value and the car has not been repaired after a reasonable number of attempts.
