Question:
I have done a vin search and the only info is that it is cateorgized as a lemon/buyback. I will be having a mechanic look at the car but can I find out what caused that label? My mechanic told me it could be big problems or small bothersome(not dangerous) problems.

I've seen vehicles bought back for what appears to be insignificant problems because the buyer felt it wasn't up to standards.
Trading my new car from 1 days ago...?
Some of these issues may bother one person and not another, so it really depends on what problems the vehicle was bought back for.

How much profit does a used car dealership makes of a used car. eg. 2002 mazda protege 100 km?
Call a dealership, or even the manufactuers toll free number, simply explain to them that you are considering purchasing the vehicle, you know it's a lemon buy back, ask them to run a "Warranty History" report of the repairs that were performed.

These reports list every repair that the manufactuer paid for, they usually have repair codes and a brief description of what was done.
Should I stay with my loan or trade in for a used car?
Any service department should be familar with these reports and could at least give a brief explanation of repairs. It may even help to ask for the service manager and explain to him/her as to what you need it for.

As a last note, I teach this in my course of "How To Buy A Used Car The Smart Way" and recommend anyone considering buying a late model used car to find out the warranty history beforing purchasing, it can often times prevent someone from buying a car or truck that's had multiple problems or major repairs.

It means the manufacturer had to buy back the vehicle pursuant to the Lemon Law because whatever the problem was, they couldn't fix it after a reasonable number of attempts (usually 3-5).$30,000 to spend, any former high-end car recommendations? German preferably..?
I would steer clear of lemon vehicles because there's no guarantee that the problem was ever fixed.

The car has a series of repairs on the same thing or constantly in the shop for repairs. Especially if it is a new vehicle.I am going to buy a car soon at a used car dealer. What should I look for so I don't get riped off?
A lemon buyback means that the original purchaser had significant problems with it shortly after buying it new. It probably spent at least 30 days in its first few months out of service.What is a good first car that will last a while?
The only way you'd likely find out what the reason was is to contact the manufacturer's zone office and ask them. They may or may not tell you why it was done and I'm not aware of any law that requires them to give you that information.
With a lease contract , That i did not want, Do i have the option to Purchase ?
Keep in mind that once a lemon buyback title is issued, the remainder of the factory warranty (if any) is cancelled. It's also highly likely that you will not be able to get any type of service contract on it either.
What is a good used car that can last for lots of miles?
Your mechanic is correct that it could be a major headache or something annoying. It's also possible that it could be something relatively simple to resolve permanently if he's REALLY good with that make. The problem is that it's a crap-shoot and you will have NO recourse if it turns out to be a headache.
Will a dealer swap cost me more money?
The final consideration is the value of the car. Many lenders won't touch a lemon or salvage title. And many insurance companies will only issue liability coverage. If they offer any coverage on the vehicle itself, you'll probaby have to agree to no more than 50% of ACV for a similar model with a clean title.
This guy by me wants to sell me this car for 500 dollars but........?
Personally I wouldn't touch a lemon buyback -- especially a Mercedes; some of them were absolutely horrific. If I gave it any consideration at all, it would be no more than 50% of book value and probaly closer to 20% of book value.
I have inherited a large amount of antique cars and parts what is the best way to sell them ?
But, then there are the good lemons. I remember a dodge viper bought back after 3000 miles because the motor puked. The motor has to be sent out to be repaired or replaced and typically takes longer than 30 days.what it takes to be an excellent salesman?
So this viper has a new motor and is probably 20g less than new, never had the nagging problems, just the one that took too long to fix.
Personally, i would never buy one though for any reason, i don't think it's worth it. Pay the extra $$$ and be safe.
