hindi na-mention ang protection for buyers of used vehicles.

[admiralpye]

It's law already according to Sen. Bam Aquino :-) But don't take my word for it. :-) Palagay ko naman hindi na i veto ito ni Pnoy.

Used cars? Hehheheh

[red_one]

for brand new cars nga lang itong SB 2211 (Villar, Estrada-Ejercito, Aquino).

i wonder what happened to SB 2464 which also protects buyers of used cars..

Then consolidated Senate Bill (SB) 2464 was principally authored by Villar (SB 775) along with Sens. Aquilino Pimentel (SB 1812) and Miriam Defensor-Santiago (SB 2445).

Stressing that a motor vehicle is a major economic investment, Villar filed Senate Bill 89 or the Lemon Law entitled, "An Act providing protection and remedies to buyers of new and used motor vehicles."

[/QUOTE]The Senate has passed on third and final reading a bill seeking to protect consumers from buying “lemon” or substandard vehicles.

Senate Bill No. 2211 or the Lemon Law, seeks to protect consumers in the sale of motor vehicles against sales and trade practices “that are deceptive, unfair or otherwise inimical to the consumers and the public interest.”[/quote]

Bill pa lang ma'am.

[_Qwerty_]

so anong remedy na sinabi?? palit kotse ba??

[madduck]

(2) In case a non-conformity of the vehicle is found by the DTI, it shall rule in
favor of the consumer and direct the manufacturer, distributor, authorized dealer or
retailer to grant either of the following remedies to the consumer:

(i) Replace the motor vehicle with a similar or comparable motor vehicle
in terms of specifications and values, subject to availability; or

(ii) Accept the return of the motor vehicle and pay the consumer the
purchase price plus collateral charges.

Best to wait for the bicameral version so that we will know what the final provisions will read like.

Anti-Lemon Law was just signed by PNoy: PNoy signs anti-lemon bill into law | ABS-CBN News

This law should encourage dealers to be more upfront with products they sell. Mas malaki ang lugi ng consumers kung walang Lemon Law, and it would be very difficult to abuse it ng nga consumers dahil burden of proof ay doon sa nagreklamo. Mas mag worry nga tayo sa mga magic tricks na gagawin ng dealers to circumvent the law. Sila ang may malalalim na bulsa to tie each case in court, not the consumer. So kung ako sa inyo, let's support this law dahil tayong consumers ang agrabyado kapag wala ito.
Ang kailangan lang talaga sipagin mag formal complaint kapag may hindi tamang practices para may aksyon na magagawa ang kinauukulan.

actually, that's the idea of the anti-lemon law. to make manufacturer/dealer realize that selling lemon cars would not be profitable to their business. no more lemons!

[tugateyshus]

Awesome!! Woohow!! Good news as I just purchased a new Chevy.


Badabing! Badabong!

May effect kaya ito sa mga kalokohang ginagawa ng mga mekaniko sa CASA? One reason I don't do PMS sa CASA eh mga kalokohan at pagnanakaw na ginagawa ng mga mekaniko don. Maybe with this law mas babantayan na ng CASA mga mekaniko nila.

OT: sa casa ba may go signal ng dealership yung mga nagnanakaw ng pyesa?
e.g. car #1 needs parts that car#2 can spare?

[MrQ5]

diskarte lang yata ng technician at owner ng car to be repaired. talamak yan nung time ng ondoy.
