Book Description
Lemon-Aid guides steer the confused and anxious buyer through the economic meltdown unlike any other car-and-truck books on the market. U.S. automakers are suddenly awash in profits, and South Koreans and Europeans have gained market shares, while Honda, Nissan, and Toyota have curtailed production following the 2011 tsunami in Japan. Shortages of Japanese new cars and supplier disruptions will likely push used car prices through the roof well into 2012, so what should a savvy buyer do? The all-new Lemon-Aid Used Cars and Trucks 2012-2013 has the answers, including: More vehicles rated, with some redesigned models that don’t perform as well as previous iterations downrated. More roof crash-worthiness ratings along with an expanded cross-border shopping guide. A revised summary of safety- and performance-related defects that are likely to affect rated models. More helpful websites listed in the appendix as well as an updated list of the best and worst "beaters" on the market. More "secret" warranties taken from automaker internal service bulletins and memos than ever.

Book Description
Canada’s automotive "Dr. Phil" says there’s never been a better time to buy a new car or truck. For deals on wheels, 2013 will be a "perfect storm." There’s never been a better time to buy a new car or truck, thanks to a stronger Canadian dollar, a worldwide recession driving prices downward, and a more competitive Japanese auto industry that’s still reeling from a series of natural disasters. In addition to lower prices and more choices, 2013 car buyers will see more generous cash rebates, low financing rates, bargain leases, and free auto maintenance programs. Buy, sell, or hold? Which cars and trucks are "wallet-friendly" and can easily last 15 years? Which vehicles offer the most features to best accommodate senior drivers? Do ethanol and hybrid fuel-saving claims have more in common with Harry Potter than the Society of Automotive Engineers? Is GM’s 2013 Volt electric car destined to become an electric Edsel? These questions and more are answered in this informative guide.
