[see below] Explanation: In language that summarizes what is involved, and that does not use the term "lemon" itself: legal obligation of a seller to refund the purchase price of a vehicle that has turned out to be unsatisfactory This would probably best be enclosed in parentheses, following the use of "lemon laws" in quotes (depending on the formality/formatting of the text involved, a footnote might even work). This is wordy, but I don't see how the concept can be described more economically. |

"lemon buyback"( American state law) Explanation: It's American law "Lemon laws are American state laws that provide a remedy for purchasers of cars and other consumer goods in order to compensate for products that repeatedly fail to meet standards of quality and performance. Although there may be defective products of all sorts ranging from small electrical appliances to huge pieces of machinery, the term "lemon" is generally thought of as applying to defective vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. " _________________ Only Canada and Singapore have similar laws but not the same. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2016-03-09 20:08:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Mistake (American state laws) Reference: http://www.dca.ca.gov/acp/buyback.shtml https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_law |

Reference: lemon & buyback Reference information: Both "lemon" for a dud car and "buyback" are valid UK English terms, so maybe you don't need an alternative to lemon buyback. But I must admit I can't find the complete term as such. Reference: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?t=20451 Reference: http://www.logbookloans247.co.uk/motor-buyback/ |
