Lemon cars are basically vehicles with persistent mechanical problems. Another term used for a lemon car is a manufacturer buyback, meaning the manufacturer has repurchased this problem vehicle.

Once vehicles are determined to be lemon cars, this status is entered into the DMV databases for future reference. A vehicle history report can reveal if in fact the vehicle you are considering is a lemon car, and therefore should be avoided at all costs.

Lemon car status is only one important hidden problem that the history report will reveal. It could uncover many other serious issues such as collision damage, hail or fire damage, odometer tampering and much more.

Fortunately, the quality of used cars is getting better each year, since manufacturers are building better, stronger, longer-lasting cars. Therefore there are fewer lemon cars on the road, and hopefully within the next ten years or so there will be no lemon cars left at all. Yet there will always be other problems to look out for, ones that are out of the control of manufacturers...those created by drivers themselves.

So even though lemon cars might soon be a thing of the past, bad drivers and drivers who don't take care of their vehicles will always exist!

That is why it is so important to get a vehicle history report before you buy...you don't want to get stuck with a lemon car or any other problem vehicle that could end up costing you thousands of dollars in future repairs!
