Can the Lemon law apply to my case?

Question

I bought a 97 Honda accord from the Owners. When i try to register my car they didn't let me because it was a salvage car. Would the lemon law apply so he could give me my car back?

Answer 1

Texas "Lemon Law" only applies to new vehicles (less than one year or 24,000 miles).

If you want to have the car repaired and obtain a cleared title, you will need to obtain a Rebuilt Vehicle Statement, a Certificate of Repair from an authorized inspection station, the salvage title and a fee, and take it all to the county tax office for a "rebuilt title."

"If you discover you have purchased a salvaged vehicle that was not marked as such, then you are a victim of fraud. You can contact the Texas Attorney  General's office for assistance:
