“Dr. Phil,” Canada’s best-known automotive expert, steers buyers through the new and used car market for one last spin.

After 45 years and almost two million copies in, this is Phil’s last annual Lemon-Aid — and it’s as tough as ever. Edmonston’s a former Member of Parliament, a Board Member of Quebec’s Bar Association, and Consumers Union. He has won many battles for consumers in picket lines and before the Supreme Court.

The 2016 Lemon-Aid has everything: an encyclopedic lineup of the best and worst cars, trucks, and SUVs sold since 1970; a list of the best and worst automaker presidents and politicians Phil has worked with, or been sued by; a collection of the 15 worst auto buys of all time; jurisprudence to get your money back; new car-buying tips that will save you tons of money by using lower fuel prices to get cheaper buys; an essential guide for first-time buyers; and a fun gift to smart-aleck gear-heads who don’t know half as much as they think.

This book steers buyers through the the confusion and anxiety of new and used vehicle purchases unlike any other car-and-truck book on the market. “Dr. Phil,” Canada’s best-known automotive expert for more than forty-five years, pulls no punches.

Recenzijas

The automotive maven and former Member of Parliament might be the most trusted man in Canada, an inverse relationship to the people he writes about. * Globe and Mail * Lemon-Aid...is one of the most valuable [ guides] of its kind because it includes information on secret warranties and confidential service bulletins that most owners aren't aware of and most automakers want to keep that way. * New York Times *
