After-Market
Dealer Accessories...
Many dealers
add after-market (non-factory)
accessories, paint and fabric/leather “potions and lotions”,
as well as a host of other dealer-profit enhancing items as part
of the purchase contract sale or lease agreement.
On a California
Lemon Law claim, the automobile manufacturer has no duty
to reimburse you for these, even though the dealer installed
them and charged you for them! Why? The answer lies in the
vehicle...
When your
vehicle rolled off the assembly-line, it was “as equipped”
from the manufacturer, and had a price & information label
affixed to the cars side window glass from the manufacturer. It
shows the car, factory accessories, and transportation, which
totals up to “MSRP”, or “manufacturer’s suggested retail
price”. This “MSRP” label shows what factory accessories
are included in the “as equipped” equation
So, if the
dealer adds things to your vehicle, the manufacturer
typically doesn’t reimburse you for them in a lemon law claim,
because that’s not the way it came off the assembly line when
it was built. There are certain cases wherein the dealer
installs genuine factory accessories on the vehicle and
it’s noted on the purchase agreement. In these cases it’s
sometimes possible to get reimbursement for these factory
built/dealer installed accessories.
Many consumers will utilize the
expertise of a experienced lemon law attorney firm with a lot of
“clout” on the factory-built added accessories issue. This
“clout” may allow (in certain
circumstances) the attorney to negotiate a part or full
reimbursement of these factory accessories.
