free auto checks for lemons

Edmunds.com is a great free resource that you can use to find out info. on cars and help you spot the lemons. If you're willing to ante up a few $, I'd strongly recommend Consumer Reports and get an online subscription that you can use to review problem areas in multiple categories with specific makes and models of car/trucks. It's helped me steer clear of some of the bad apples (or lemons..lol)
Check out this for the 8 biggest lemons, the criteria being sales only ...and then also for the worst 50 cars ever built the criteria on these being mechanically POS: http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/0,28757,1658545,00.html ****but RacerX has the best answer for car shopping today******
Here is a good excerpt from that website on the 1958 Edsel: "Cultural critics speculated that the car was a flop because the vertical grill looked like a vagina." Maybe. It was the 50's after all, all Families were just like the Cleavers in Leave it to Beaver'... or "Father Knows Best"..Ozzie and Harriet'.....weren't they?
