Yes, vehicles sold at auction in Ohio are protected by the State Lemon Law as well as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. However, the Ohio Lemon Law only applies to defects reported within one year or 18,000 miles of the original purchase date. And the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act only covers vehicles with defects reported while under warranty.
With this in mind, salvage vehicles and classic cars sold at auction in Ohio typically do not qualify for protection under lemon laws because neither of those vehicle types typically come with a warranty.
