What is the difference between a buyback and a cash-and-keep settlement?
In a buyback, the manufacturer takes the vehicle back, pays off the loan or lease and refunds the owner, less any use allowance the state permits. In a cash-and-keep settlement, the owner keeps possession of the vehicle and receives payment directly in cash.

No upfront fee. In lemon law cases the manufacturer generally pays the attorney fees under fee-shifting statutes. In this case our client paid nothing out of pocket†.
