Lemon title not worth it?
Getting concerned about my BTO 450 and possible delay, now looking at other on lot options, including a manufacture buyback (Lemon). Not really worth it, taking a hit both with insurance and resale?

I'd stay away from a Lemon law car. Even if it was for something simple, it will always cause questions and problems when you go to sell or trade it in.

A gaggle of MB's
You can't trust any car dealer that is selling Lemon Buyback cars - and so you know that shows Permanently on the Vehicle Title.
If a Buy Back car is the "right price" then it get's snapped up by Exporter's to 3rd World Countries - or bought by a US Ex-Pat to ship to him at his off-shore abode.
Any Buy Back car offered for Retail Sale here - the ONLY reason for that is because that Buy Back Car is "priced high" (as compared to "right price") - and that Dealer is looking to make a Killing - at your Expense.

The only way anyone should even consider this is if they give you an insane discount. I'm talking over 70%. At that point it is almost a disposable purchase.
I don't even understand the people who buy used when they only get a 10% discount.

Others like cars for other things and are willing to pay to own them.
I sold my last two cars for 10X the original MSRP - and the new owners were darned happy to pay a "non-discount."
