I’m not interested in this car but I’ve never seen a Lemon title status on a car before AND it’s not even a good deal   

Who would pay this price?

I thought I read Lemons Sentra and was expecting to see some cheap crap can. That is far from cheap for what's apparently been proven to be a crap can.

hmm.  who'da thunk it?  i always assumed those were crushed by law.  maybe moved states?  even then if you can't wash the title why bother i suppose.  Maybe there wasn't much wrong with it and the owner realized the payments were a little beyond his means.  Whaddya I know?  Yeah knock the one off the front of the price and it'll fly out the door. smiley

Most cars get bought back by the mfgr before they are branded a lemon. Helps the resale of the car as it does not brand the title. It will show up on car fax.

I wonder what they couldn't fix to consider it a Lemon? Or was it just the styling?

My duramax Chevy 2500 was a “lemon”/“buyback”; the original owner had a ford before and kept bringing the Chevy back with complaints about loose steering. Since Chevy is that way compared to ford when weighted (my experience in a lot of trucks) I took a chance on it and drove it 90,000 miles happily.

A friend of my dad once made a dealer buy back a car under lemon law. It was a 300c.

 

The reasons were as follows: the seat ripped, they fixed it. An interior light broke, they fixed it. A piece of door moulding fell off. They put on a new one. Then the clear coat started peeling on the new door moulding.

 

So he made them lemon law it. Mechanically the car was perfect.

My other half drives a car with a lemon branded title. 120k under her ownership and still runs just fine. From what we pulled up under the dealer network is it had "power window, radio issues" neither of them affect this car.
