When a manufacturer agrees to buy back a vehicle, it means that the manufacturer agree to take the responsibility of purchasing the vehicle back from its owner. This typically occurs in situations where the vehicle has a defect or issue that cannot be resolved through repairs, and the manufacturer is trying to resolve the situation to the customer’s satisfaction. In reality, this often happens only after some fight. Most manufacturers do not make it easy to qualify for lemon buybacks, especially when a person is not represented by an attorney.

The process of a manufacturer buying back a vehicle can vary, but it typically involves the owner returning the vehicle to the manufacturer, most often at a dealership. At the dealership, the manufacturer (or an agent appointed by the manufacturer) will meet the customer at the place of choosing, and inspect the car (usually to make sure that the car does not have major damage). They may also ask the customer to turn over any keys and the car manual.

The specific terms and conditions of a manufacturer buyback agreement can vary, so it’s important to review the details of the agreement carefully.
