10 Ways To Outwit A Car Dealer

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." That's all well and good on the playground, but it's a different story in a car showroom.

But there is reason for hope even if your car has persistent problems ranging from safety-related to simply annoying. Every state has a lemon law protecting and spelling out your rights. Most declare vehicles lemons after up to four unsuccessful repair attempts within about 24,000 miles or 24 months, although the laws vary widely. Beyond that, the car business is in tough enough shape that few dealers or manufacturers want to risk alienating a
