Some people might argue that the Lemon Law is adequate to protect consumers from buying defective goods (like a used car, for example). But wiser people will tell you that the Lemon Law is very ambiguous and has many grey areas or loopholes.
Common problems that arise with a used car
The last thing you want to happen after you fork out a substantial amount of cash for a used car would be breakdowns. From simple things like a dead battery to more complex problems like transmission or driveshaft issues, here are our top 8 car breakdown problems.
- Weak or dead battery
- Faulty alternator
- Engine overheating
- Excessive engine oil consumption
- Transmission problems

How much will it cost to fix those problems?
Let's take the most expensive components to repair or replace in a car as an example - the engine, drive axle and transmission.
