I've been reading many posts regarding problems with newly acquired vehicles, just recently a newly acquired 997 on the 997 board, and having to revert to the lemon law in certain states.

Just wondering if we have a similar law here in Canada, specifically Ontario?

Cheers and safe driving.

The Sale Of Goods act provides similar protection in Canada; regardless of what the contract says, unless you've been using it for business, they are are bound by the Act to sell you a car that is (these are the parts that matter in this case, there are more): of merchantable quality (no undisclosed defects), reasonably fit for the intended purpose (i.e., being used as a daily driver passenger vehicle) , and that meets a reasonable standard of durability.

Provided the vehicle was bought new and not used for a business, it is *impossible* to exclude those from being considered conditions of the sale. If the car is breaking down a lot, they've broken the contract. If you pursue rescission as a remedy to the breach of contract, you should get out of it relatively clear, particularly if you manage to reach a settlement without getting lawyers involved.

I think we have this UMVIC or something similar.

OMVIC - Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council

Years ago I was able to get GM to replace a new car which over the spab of one year spent slightly more than 6 months in their shop. It took a threat from a lawyer to get it done though. I wish we had US style lemon laws here ...
