What Are the Odds Your Lemon Lands You in Court?
Choosing and purchasing a brand new car is a calamity itself. Add unreliability of the car’s performance, and the incident can be horrible and terrific too.
Nobody wants to deal with endless maintenance problems that turn their big brand new car into a defective, worthless vehicle.
