i talked to a lemon law lawyer in NJ. They believe i do have a case since the length of time my truck has been in the shop since i got it(over a month), also because of the fact that my one complaint is a engine knock(most likely the infamous piston slap which the lemon law loves) and also because of the possible odometer rollback. The 3 things combined causes enough reason to take it up in court. The lawyer is sending me all forms and info so i can read through it and see what to do. I asked like what id get out of it in the end and he said if i win, most likely i would, lawyer/court fees plus anything from a new motor, to a longer extended warraty on the vehicle, to a vehicle buyback, to 3 times the vehicle cost back due to the possible odometer fraud(vehicle price was around 21 after all taxes and extras, so thats like 60k back..id pay of the truck and deal with it) There several options for the lawyer fee, one is $300 and they make up all the paperwork and do the forms and i file it with the court and i go to court, OR $200 a hour and they do everything, OR $700 and they will do all the paperwork and go to court for me. anything like over 7 or 8 hours of specific work by them would be slightly more. What do you guys think? im thinking about the 700 since they said usually these cases canbe taken care of in that time/money frame. i never had a lawyer before so i dont know what average costs are.
