What happens to lemon cars after they are bought back?

Filed under: Buying & Selling — Tags: Chevy Aveo, Lemons, Sad — chatyak @ 6:19 am

Roo asked:

My Chevy Aveo was defective and after a lawsuit, turned out to be a lemon. It had multiple suspension and steering issues. It’s my first new car and I’m sad to see it go, but it’s for the better.

My best friend said that the maufacturer is going to destroy the car, as they can’t sell it. But I’ve heard of lemons being bought as used cars.

I’d be sad to know that my car will no longer exist, but it brought up a good point; what happens to the cars labeled as lemons?

How do cars get stuck on train tracks so often?

Mrs.10/18/08 asked:

In my city, there have been 3 reports of people almost getting hit by trains with their cars on the tracks lately. Also, My fiance’s best friend’s ENTIRE family was killed in this manner several years ago.

I guess I just have a hard time understanding how it happens – I mean, why wouldn’t they be able to just move their car? Or get out of the car? Is there some common denominator as to why it happens when it comes to accidents of this nature?

emmblaze asked:

My husband is into cars. Nice cars, fast cars, new cars… He talks about drifting and racing but also just the cars that we pass by on the street. Their stats and price and whatever else.

I’d like to be able to impress him with some additional info, mostly on the nice cars we may be passing by on the road.

What are good webistes or forums to keep me up to date with new, nice cars so I can add to the conversation?
