Someone in SoCal will be getting a SS for cheap thanks to the OP.
A lemon law is generally when a car can't be repaired for the same problem after three attempts by the dealer. Most states have such a law under "consumer affairs".

The buy backs I've seen at dealers have a clear title and full factory warranty, plus an additional buy back warranty. Most are voluntary buy backs. People use the term Lemon. But to be an actual Lemon Law vehicle it would have had to have gone through the court process, law suit, judgement, award... and even then I'm not sure many states do anything with the title. They require a disclosure to the next purchaser.

I think most states just brand the title for - salvage, scrap, flood. I've never seen a lemon title.
