Yes, you may be eligible for a refund or tax credit in either scenario, “buy back” or “lemon law.” If you did not receive a replacement vehicle from the dealer, check with the dealer to be sure that a refund request has been submitted to the MVA; usually the dealer handles refund requests on the customer’s behalf.
