I have recently purchased a second hand car from a dealer, sent to STA check, the report came out mentioning that the shock absorbers are worn. I brought it to a trusted workshop to have a thorough check and it was told to me that the shock absorbers were actually leaking, all 4 of them, is this covered under lemon law? Can I seek compensation from the dealer? It does not match the report description, and I have only driven it around for 3 days.

Does lemon law cover COE cars? For example 11year old car? I'm confused as some car dealer say yes and some say no... Thank you

Hi Guys, Firstly, Merry Christmas and I hope you guys are enjoying the festive holidays!! To start this, I've went down to view and test drive a Kia Cerato Forte Koup 2.0 yesterday at WCEGA Plaza, Top Carz / Pioneer Auto. (#02-55) I was about to submit my particulars to purchase the car when I threw the question if Lemon Law is applied to this car. The dealer said no and there isn't any lemon law applicable for their cars. No reason was given when I ask and he just keep saying that their cars on sale has no lemon law. Alternatively, I can get a 3rd party warranty for 6 months, which I have to service my car at their workshop if not the warranty is void. On top of that, I would need to pay a premium for the warranty. I have rejected the car purchase and would like to ask if anybody has encountered the exact situation with other dealers as he said in the market there are some who doesn't apply lemon law? From what I know, lemon law should apply even if it doesn't state on the sales agreement or contract. But, if in the event the sales agreement states a clause that the vehicle is sold under "as it is" condition, then there will not be lemon law applicable. Sincerely seek the community's advise or opinion on this. Thanks.
