mmm.... again I am not an attorney. I was interested in the concept because I once bought a car for $2000 which went 50 miles and blew an engine. Now, I bought the car as is but you expect more than that for 2000 dollars. Fortunately I had financed 1500 of it and this was resolved by towing the car back to the dealer and telling him not to expect any further payment. I was not able to get the down payment back however. Lemon laws apply to new cars only.
This is not so much a law as a concept, whose implementation varies from state to state. It applied in the above case (FL) because I bought the car from a dealer and I do not claim particular mechanical knowledge, just enough to be very sure I had checked the oil and water in the car before I drove it. However Florida is not known for its consumer protections and I was talked out of trying to sue for my $500... potential benefit did not outweigh risks and costs. For example, suppose I wrote a web page for someone, oh a small deli let's say. I tell him this can bring him in business and I will do the work to make sure he comes up in search engines. Here I am the expert, making a claim to someone who knows nothing about my field. Concievably there would be an implied warranty even if nothing is in writing.
