Went to test drive a car with my daughter and she couldn’t shift it into third. We pulled over and I couldn’t get it into third. The previous owner thought you didn’t have to use a clutch after the car is moving. That is why a VW Jetta was on the lot with 30,000 miles. The dealer’s 150 point inspection missed third gear. They offered to fix it for us, but I sensed that the whole car had been slammed hard and put away wet. If it wasn’t broken, it was badly ground and bent
I once went to the car auctions. A car was being driven in (only had 30ft to drive) and there was a big bang and lots of smoke coming out of the engine compartment. The auctioneer just looked at it and said “I guess there won’t be any bids for this one then”.
I’m going to FRAME this strip, because I have a story to tell! A few years ago, I was shopping for a used car, and I found a deal that was too good to be true, but I couldn’t pass it up. I made an appointment, went there, and somehow, they forgot to tell me in the interim that the car wouldn’t start. Because a worker let the battery go dead. Then it had a problem because someone damaged the charging system trying to charge the battery….I should have left immediately, but I wanted to see if we could make a meal out of the scraps of this situation…it finally got down to the salesman suggesting I buy the car (it was a VW at a Chrysler dealership) and HAVE IT TOWED TO A VW DEALERSHIP to have it repaired!! I told him, ‘I think my wife would question my sanity if I bought a car that I had to repair before I could drive it’, and the man said, ‘I guess so.’ I bit my tongue to keep from asking him if he was from this planet!!!

Is only the yellow car a lemon?

The lemon yellow color should be the first indicator that something is amiss.

“Tows well. Good visibility from tow truck. Handles like it only has two wheels. GREAT mileage.”
