A lawyer for Taylor Lautner says the Twilight star has settled a lawsuit with an recreational vehicle dealership he claims didn't deliver a $US300,000 ($NZ426,567) coach in time for a movie shoot. 

Attorney Robert Barta said Friday that McMahon RV of Irvine, California will pay $US40,000 (NZ$55,500) to Lautner, who will donate it to Lollipop Theater Network, a children's charity.   

The 18-year-old Lautner sued the dealership Monday, saying it missed a June deadline to deliver the 2006 Affinity Country Coach for use on the set of the movie Abduction. 

Dealership owner Brent McMahon had offered to compete in a push-up contest to solve the dispute. 

A phone message seeking comment on the settlement was not immediately returned. 

Lautner will reprise his role as Jacob Black in the two-part Twilight finale.
