Oklahoma Lemon Law Refund Calculator

How the Oklahoma buyback is calculated

Under the Oklahoma Lemon Law.

• When the manufacturer, its agents or authorized dealers are unable to conform the vehicle to its express warranty after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer must either accept the vehicle back and refund the purchase price, or replace it with a comparable new model acceptable to you (15 O.S. § 901(C)). The statute does not say who chooses. If a comparable model cannot be agreed upon, the price is refunded less the allowance for use.
• The refund is the full purchase price including all taxes, license, registration fees and all similar governmental fees, excluding interest, less the allowance for your use. It is made to you and the lienholder, if any, as your interests may appear.
• The deduction for your use is set by the statute: the purchase or lease price multiplied by a fraction. The top of the fraction is the miles directly attributable to your use beyond 15,000; the bottom is 120,000. The statute names no odometer reading, so the calculator uses the odometer at return, less the miles you enter that are not your use, such as the miles on the odometer at delivery.
• As the Attorney General's guide illustrates it, on a $15,000 purchase with 17,000 miles driven the fraction is 1/60th, which is $250. The miles up to 15,000 are not counted.
• The statute states no multiplied damages. A consumer who prevails in a civil action recovers all costs and reasonable attorney fees, as the court determines. The statute does not mention incidental or collateral damages, so the calculator does not add them; it does not limit the rights or remedies available under any other law (§ 901(E)). For a lease, the statute names only "the purchase or lease price" in the allowance, so the lease figure is an approximation.

Oklahoma lemon law: frequently asked questions

How is the deduction for my use calculated in Oklahoma?

The statute sets it: the purchase or lease price multiplied by a fraction whose top is the miles directly attributable to your use beyond 15,000 and whose bottom is 120,000. If your use was 15,000 miles or fewer, the deduction is zero. The calculator applies this formula to the odometer reading you enter, less any miles you say are not your use.

What does an Oklahoma refund include?

The full purchase price including all taxes, license, registration fees and all similar governmental fees, excluding interest, less the allowance for your use. Refunds are made to you and the lienholder as your interests may appear. The statute does not address incidental or collateral damages, so the calculator does not estimate them.

Can I choose a replacement instead of a refund?

The manufacturer must either refund or replace the vehicle with a comparable new model acceptable to you. The statute does not say who chooses between the two beyond the replacement having to be acceptable to you. If a comparable model cannot be agreed upon, the price is refunded less the allowance for use.

Who pays the attorney in an Oklahoma lemon law case?

If you are the prevailing party in a civil action under the lemon law, you recover all costs and reasonable attorney fees as determined by the court (15 O.S. § 901(J)).

Does Oklahoma add extra damages on top of the refund?

Not in the lemon law itself: the statute states no multiplier. It does say that it does not limit rights or remedies that are otherwise available to a consumer under any other law.
