Palm Beach County is a place where new luxury vehicles are an ordinary part of the traffic — West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington, Delray Beach, and Boca Raton. A higher purchase price does not create a claim by itself. It does mean that if the facts support a repurchase, Florida's formula starts from the full purchase price, including options and collateral charges, minus a reasonable offset for use. That arithmetic is the statute's, not a local custom.

Dealers along Okeechobee Boulevard, in Palm Beach Gardens, and south through Delray and Boca see the same modern failure modes as the rest of the state: air suspension, driver-assistance faults, electrical issues, and EV battery or charging problems. The legal framework is still Fla. Stat. ch. 681. Owners comparing brands can start with luxury vehicle claims, Porsche, Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or electric vehicles.

Recalde Law Firm covers vehicle owners across Florida, including West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Wellington, and Palm Beach Gardens. We handle Palm Beach County lemon law cases under Chapter 681 from start to finish.

Price is not the test

A six-figure window sticker is not a nonconformity. A defect that substantially impairs use, value, or safety can be, including on an expensive car, once the manufacturer has had a reasonable chance to fix it. Bring the repair orders from whichever Palm Beach County dealer touched the vehicle. If it also went to a Broward store, include that paperwork — see the Fort Lauderdale page for the same statute one county south.

The Florida Lemon Law still governs a West Palm Beach repair history

Florida's Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act, Fla. Stat. ch. 681, applies to new motor vehicles sold or leased in Florida primarily for personal, family, or household use. The Lemon Law Rights Period is 24 months from original delivery to the first consumer. A nonconformity is a defect that substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the vehicle. Florida law presumes the manufacturer has had a reasonable number of attempts when the same nonconformity has had three or more repair attempts and the defect continues, or when the vehicle has been out of service for 15 or more cumulative days for warranty repairs.

Those thresholds do not change because the dealer is in West Palm Beach. Repair orders from an authorized dealer in Palm Beach County are the record. The law that reads that record is statewide. Leased vehicles can qualify when the lease term is at least one year — see leased vehicles under the Florida Lemon Law.

Before a buyback or replacement demand, the consumer generally must give the manufacturer a final written repair opportunity. Many claims then go through a state-certified arbitration program, often BBB AUTO LINE, or the Florida New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board. How a claim works walks through that sequence. What qualifies as a lemon and how many repair attempts matter answer the two questions people ask first.

Contingency fee

If the applicable Lemon Law allows recovering attorney's fees from the manufacturer in addition to your recovery, we pursue that route. Otherwise the contingency fee is 30% of the gross recovery. That fee is based on the gross recovery and is not reduced by lease or loan payoffs, mileage offsets, use deductions, negative equity, or similar items outside our control.

You pay no upfront attorney fee and no retainer. If we don't recover for you, you owe no attorney fee. Court costs and expenses, if any, are disclosed in the engagement — they are not a retainer.
