5.0 out of 5 stars The Lemon Law Bible, September 27, 2000

By	Thomas B.Spademan, J.D. (Little Rock, Ar USA) - See all my reviews

If you are planning to buy a car, you should buy this book first. Written in plain, understandable English, and packed full of information not only about what to do if your car turns out to be a lemon, but also how to avoid buying a lemon in the first place, Steve Lehto's book is a much-needed, non-technical guide to automobile law. Lehto provides the relevant information in the clearest possible manner, on legal terms, on the process of repair and replacement of a lemon, on the "tricks" many unscrupulous dealers use to avoid responsibility, on "Lemon Laws Around the Nation" - on every aspect of automobile law you need to know to become an empowered consumer, and take control of the situation. The extensive appendices, such as a "Sample Last Chance Letter," and "Internet Resources," are especially useful. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very readable book!, March 26, 2002

By A Customer

This book does a great job of explaining the definintions of "lemons" and how to go about documenting what you need if you have a lemon. It also answers many common questions that people have in eary to understand terms.

The book contains several appendixes which are very helpful including all state and federal laws related to lemons, a sample letter to send the car manufacturer if you believe you have a lemon.

The book also gives tips on selecting an attorney to represent you (they should do it at no fee since they will be reimbursed by the car manufacturer if you win), pulling together documentation, etc. The author also makes it clear that it is the manufacturer and not the dealer who is responsible for handling lemons under the law.

I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it before you buy a car, October 6, 2000

By	Amazon Addict (East Coast) - See all my reviews

I am grateful a friend of mine recommended this book to me before I bought my new XTerra. Whew, it's thorough and gives you good ammunition before you go into battle with a car dealer.

BUY IT!

You can thank me later.
