What to do if you Suspect You"re Driving a Lemon
by Kathy Murdock

Has purchasing a used car left a sour taste in your mouth? If so, you"re not alone. Unfortunately, no one law exists to cover the problems, fees, time, and frustrations that purchasing a lemon brings. Instead, each state has its own individual statute when it comes to buying a defective automobile. If you are concerned that you might have unknowingly purchased a lemon, you will need to do some research.

First, keep a detailed file on all transactions, repairs, and problems that you have with your vehicle, starting with day one. Write down notes about conversations, including the time, date, and person that you spoke to, that have taken place with the dealership. Keep a file of all paperwork and written contracts and agreements that you and the dealership have signed. If you are driving a lemon but you don"t have any written documentation of the effort, time, and money you"ve expended trying to get the problem fixed, you will not have a leg to stand on should the matter go to court.

Before you drive your purchase off of the lot, ask the dealership for the vehicle"s Technical Service Bulletins, or TSBs. These bulletins, published by the manufacturer of the car, inform dealerships of defects and necessary repairs.

Depending upon the state in which you live, you might wish to hire an attorney. However, in other states, if you suspect you have a lemon, all you need to do is file a complaint. These are matters you will need to spend time researching.
