Description

Opinion Number: 1998-NMCA-020 {1} This case presents us with our first opportunity to interpret New Mexico's Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act, the so-called ""Lemon Law,"" which provides special remedies to certain purchasers of defective automobiles. See NMSA 1978, 57-16A-1 through -9 (1985). We hold that Plaintiff cannot recover against General Motors Corporation (GMC) under the Lemon Law because he is not a consumer for purposes of the Act. However, we also hold that Plaintiff may recover nominal damages as well as attorneys' fees under the Unfair Practices Act (UPA). See NMSA 1978, 57-12-1 through -22 (1967). We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand. BACKGROUND
