When it comes to the world of used vehicle transactions, misunderstandings and disputes can arise that necessitate skilled negotiation and legal expertise. If you're a buyer seeking to return a defective vehicle, having a seasoned legal team by your side can make all the difference. In this blog post, we'll explore how The Law Offices of Lance Loewenstein, P.C. can help you navigate the complexities of negotiating a repurchase or sell-back of a used vehicle.

Understanding Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase agreements are contracts that allow the original seller of a used vehicle to buy it back from the purchaser under specific conditions. These conditions typically involve defects or issues with the vehicle that were not disclosed or known at the time of sale. These agreements aim to protect buyers from being stuck with a problematic vehicle and to help sellers avoid costly and time consuming legal disputes.

Here's how we can assist you in negotiating such agreements:

Legal Expertise: Our team of experienced attorneys specializes in contract law and consumer protection law, particularly in the context of vehicle transactions. We can carefully review the terms and conditions of the original sale agreement to identify any potential breaches,

misrepresentations, or violations of consumer protection laws.

Due Diligence: Before entering negotiations, our legal experts will conduct thorough due diligence to gather evidence of any undisclosed defects, issues, or misrepresentations about the vehicle's condition. This may include vehicle inspections, expert opinions, and documentation analysis.

Negotiation Strategy: Armed with compelling evidence, we'll work closely with you to develop a negotiation strategy that protects your interests. Throughout negotiations, we'll aim to achieve a favorable outcome through effective communication and advocacy.

Common Scenarios for Repurchase/Sell-Back Agreements

Repurchase and sell-back agreements can arise in various situations, including:

Undisclosed Mechanical Issues: If a buyer discovers significant mechanical problems with the vehicle shortly after the purchase, they may seek a repurchase or refund. Dealers will likely try to tell consumers that the vehicles were purchased “As-Is” and that the buyers have no legal recourse – but that’s not true. Contact our experienced auto-fraud attorneys today to find out how we plan to overcome pesky “As-Is” clauses.

Misrepresentations: If the seller provided false information about the vehicle's history, condition, or mileage, it could lead to a repurchase claim.

Lemon Law Claims: Some states have Lemon Laws that protect buyers of defective vehicles. Our attorneys can help you navigate the Lemon Law process and negotiate a repurchase or replacement, if applicable.
