Lemon-Aid New and Used Cars and Trucks 2007a2018
Autor Phil Edmonstonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mar 2018
After almost fifty years and two million copies sold, Phil Edmonston has a co-pilot for the Lemon-Aid Guide -- George Iny, along with the editors of the Automobile Protection Association.
The 2018 Lemon-Aid features comprehensive reviews of the best and worst vehicles sold since 2007. You'll find tips on the "art of complaining" to resolve your vehicular woes and strategies to ensure you don't get squeezed in the dealer's business office after you've agreed on a price and let your guard down. And to make sure you receive compensation where it's due, Lemon-Aid's unique secret warranties round-up covers manufacturer extended warranties for performance defects. Lemon-Aid is an essential guide for careful buyers and long-time gearheads (who may not know as much as they think).
