Lemon Cars

We've all heard the term lemon cars used over and over again, but what does this really mean?

Put simply, these are vehicles that have persistent mechanical problems. They are often referred to as manufacturer buybacks, which signifies that the manufacturer was made aware of the problem car. It is then recorded in the DMV records as a lemon vehicle.

One of the main components of the Vehicle History Report is the lemon check, which searches multiple databases using a car's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to check if a vehicle is a lemon or not.
