Illinois Lemon Law
Illinois's lemon law covers new vehicles within 12 months or 12,000 miles. The manufacturer gets four repair attempts for the same problem or the vehicle must be out of service for 30 or more business days. Illinois provides a state-run arbitration program.

Illinois Total Loss Threshold
Illinois uses a unique percentage-based system. If repairs plus salvage value exceed the fair market value, or if the vehicle is 7+ years old and repair costs exceed the FMV, it is a total loss. The effective threshold is approximately 50% for newer vehicles.
