Lemon laws vary from state to state. Be careful of advice off of the Internet.

Lemon law buybacks are from the manufacturer, not the dealer.

You do not need a lawyer.

I've done it with BMW. I'm in NC. Here, if I sue the manufacturer under the law and I lose, I am responsible for their attorney fees. For that reason, I was able to negotiate a buyback (not lemon) if I bought another car, which worked out OK for me.

I did it in California with BMW. It was pleasantly straightforward. Documented the service issues, attempted remedies, and IIRC there was a percentage of “out of service” where I contacted their legal department and they handled it from there.

Met their representative at a notary, signed various paperwork, handed him the keys and took an Uber home.

Thanks. I am in California. Seems like in case it comes down to this, I will have to contact the manufacturer with evidence of unresolved issue.

Yes, in California, with Porsche, without a lawyer.
