Lemon Squad
Hi Folks - Has anyone done business with a company called the Lemon Squad. They checkout cars for long distant buyers who do not have a mechanic to check a car they might be buying. Any feedback would be appreciated...

Thanks for the reply. I do have a CF member who will checkout the car as best he can. But he is not a mechanic. He is the one that told me about the Lemon Squad...

still even though he is not a mechanic most c5 owners have an idea of what kind of gremlins to look for and as long as he pulls the codes after taking it for a spin and sends them to you (if any) then I don't see really anything else a mechanic from "lemon squad" would be able to do differently....

Before I bought mine I looked at another that had a Lemon Squad inspection. (Out of state father to son gift) I was impressed with the detail in the report.
Good Luck!

Is there a Corvette Club local to where the car is? When I purchased my car from out of state, I emailed the local club and had several offers to check out the car for me. The person who did look at it had been a Vette owner for many years and was very knowledgeable about the C5.
