Consumer Protection

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.

Title History

Illinois Title Branding Rules

Illinois brands titles as Salvage, Rebuilt, Flood, Junk, or Lemon. The Secretary of State requires a comprehensive inspection and anti-theft check before issuing a rebuilt title.

Official Resources

Illinois DMV VIN Check

The Illinois Secretary of State provides online VIN and title verification. Law enforcement agencies perform required VIN inspections for salvage rebuilds.

Insurance Rules

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.
