Consumer Protection — Lemon Law — sufficiency of the evidence

This appeal concerns the application of Wisconsin’s Lemon Law, Wis. Stat. § 218.0171 (2011-12). After a trial, a jury found Navistar liable to Bucky’s Portable Toilets under the Lemon Law. Navistar appeals the jury’s verdict and the circuit court’s decision on post-verdict motions that the jury had sufficient evidence to find Navistar liable. Navistar also appeals various circuit court decisions, including its decisions that Bucky’s Lemon Law demand letter was sufficient and that the price of dealer modifications made to the truck was part of the “full purchase price” under the Lemon Law. For the reasons below, we affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
