     The Lemon Law is very specific and still protects the manufacturer 
     rather than the consumer.  It only hold with in 1 year or 12,000 miles 
     anyway.

Hi all,
     
I can't help but to feel sorry for all of you out there... Have you 
guys (and I use this term very losely) looked into the Lemon Law in 
your state? I am almost positive that in almost 50 states, that if the 
dealer fails to correct a problem after THREE (3) attempts within 
ONE (1) year, (either the dealer or manufacturer, I forgot which one) 
have to (??) either buy the car back from you or give you another one. 
Now, don't quote me on this because I read about this a few weeks back, 
but you can do a search on the web for Lemon Law. That may save you alot 
of BS by the dealers. The law is out there, why not use it!
Good luck,
     
Cris L
