Yes and no, my lawyer told me my car fell under the lemon law since it was under 1500 miles and the car has been in the shop for 30+ days while only 6 days in my possession. I had a few people tell me that its only for new cars until I consulted my lawyer and he said it also applies for used vehicles just has way more restrictions.
Every state may have different laws as well. In my case, I had to deal with it in NY. not sure what other states lemon law is like
"Despite the fact that a used car is a much more likely candidate to be a “lemon,” federal lemon laws generally cover only new vehicle purchases. But there is one major exception: if the owner has received an express written warranty along with the used vehicle, then federal lemon law will likely cover the used car." -found this online
My car's situation was that one major exception
