Ever bought or sold at the "Lemon Lot?"

I never bought from the lemon lot but I have sold there. I have always taken care of my cars with routine maintenance and cleaning (my wife says it is my obsessive compulsion) but when I came up my dad taught me to take care of our vehicles and they will take care of you. If there was an issue, I would tell them up front. I they still bought it then it was on them. I never tried to hoodwink anyone. Went to KBB, set a fair price, and they usually moved pretty quick. However, I don't trade cars but every 8-10 years as long as they are still reliable.

I've sold most of mine on the lemon lot...I take excellent care of my cars and show the full maintenance record, so they sell fast. I post KBB, Edmunds & NADA prices so the shoppers can see what it's supposed to be worth. I think it's safer than Craigslist or Autotrader sites because they either already have access to base or they have to provide an ID to get through the gate with you to look at it.

I test drove an SUV that the former VCSAF (General Spencer) sold on the Bolling AFB Lemon Lot when he was a two star. Does that count? LOL

Sold my 98 Grand Am for $3000 at Fort Knox with a cracked engine block. I told the guy when he was buying it but he believed he could fix it....he called back a week later saying he couldn't.

2 lemons I bought in Guam (and they were both definitely lemons): 1989 Nissan Sentra (clutch AND transmission went out about a month after I bought it) and my second lemon, 1989 Dodge (Mitsubishi) Colt. Not a bad little car, but little things like the rear view mirror fell out of the holder and I had to hold it in place with super glue and rubber bands, and the lock came out of the hatch back, meaning I had to stick my finger in the hole to unlock the hatch. That made it easy for the couple of times I left my keys in the ignition!

I list of lemons...in no particular order, Pinto, plymouths, Pontiacs, and VW pre-90, best cars for me Ford F150 92 and newer, Newer Subarus, Toyota truck 88 and newer. I had a wave of bad luck..

It's just like buying off craigslist. Good deals and really bad ones. If you don't know what you're doing it's a bad idea, if you do, go for it.

I never bought a car from the lemon lot. Both of my cars are from dealerships. So if something does go wrong, then you could use that state's lemon laws and get your car fixed or money back.
