Lemon Aid New Cars And Minivans

Launched 35 years ago, the 2007 edition of the New Cars and Minivans has been restyled to present more current information in a user-friendly manner. This guide tells you when to buy, sell, or hold onto a vehicle and why price rarely guarantees reliability (beware of 'luxury lemons'). Hard-nosed ratings, true fuel-consumption figures, and which safety features are unsafe, are all found in this year_s guide, as well as: Dealer markups for each model; cutting the freight fee The best and worst options; whose warranty is the best Which 2006s are butter buys than a 2007 Sample compliant letters that work

REFERENCE USE ONLY 2003 New cars and Minivans.

As U.S. and Canadian automakers and dealers face bankruptcy and Toyota battles unprecedented quality-control problems, Lemon-Aid guides steer the confused and anxious buyer through the economic meltdown unlike any other car-and-truck books on the market. Phil Edmonston, Canada's automotive "Dr. Phil" for more than 40 years, pulls no punches. In this all-new guide he says: Chrysler's days are numbered with the dubious help of Fiat. Electric cars and ethanol power are PR gimmicks. Diesel and natural gas are the future. Be wary of "zombie" vehicles: Jaguar, Land Rover, Saab, and Volvo. Mercedes-Benz -- rich cars, poor quality. There's only one Saturn you should buy. Toyota -- enough apologies: "when you mess up, 'fess up."

Includes vans, SUVs and pickup trucks.
