Buyer beware of Lemon Cars
There are many traps and pitfalls waiting for the innocent consumer.
Buying in good faith, unfortunately, has become a thing of the past and every care should be taken when buying the second most expensive item on the shopping list - that is, the motor car or your new BMW.
The United States brought in the ‘lemon law’ to protect the consumer against unscrupulous dealers who will sell just about anything to an unsuspecting public.
When it applies to cars and motor vehicles it is supremely important since these vehicles can in some instances be death traps.
Unfortunately, this law is interpreted in different ways in different states.
The lemon law forces manufacturers to buy back ‘lemons’ and replace the vehicle or refund the buyer by way of compensation.
However, as mentioned earlier, not all sellers are good guys. Did you know that the lemon you sold back to them can be back on the market in a relatively short time devoid of its dubious history?
It merely stores it for a short time and then sells through a ‘dealers only’ auction and the history does not follow the car.
The next person to purchase it will be opening a virtual Pandora’s Box of problems.
It really is a case of ‘buyers beware’ whenever you make purchases but perhaps in the case of cars then extra care should be taken.
It may be wise to take along a trusted professional mechanic to check out the vehicle before you make that all important decision. A little extra cost at this stage may save your life in future.
