    When you buy a used car, and then it continually plays up for the next month...when do you draw the line and admit that it is going to cost you more money to keep it than to sell it and get a new one.

    I hate cars!!!!

    My dad has a habit of buying lemons. He thinks he's getting a deal on the car, but it turns out it's a lemon.

    Not really, but usually I buy them so cheap that if they suck and can always resell it right away for more money :D

    I haver never had a used car that came close to costing me what a new car would. I usually pay between $3500 to $5000 for a car and have my mechanic check it first.

    My dad is always buys as new, and makes sure it isn't bad.
    Although we've bought second hand for my brother, Suzuki Swift, also reliable.
    It's my Grandad who had a lemon car (a Skoda)

    I am buying one today, went to carfax.com to get info on it for $25. Turns out the car has no issues according to carfax. We'll see.
