You Know You've Bought A Lemon When...

It's bad enough when you buy a gadget or small appliance that doesn't work correctly, but it's worse if you end up with a car that is a lemon. Worse still, since we do have a soft spot for high-priced vehicles, is if the car in question is a luxury car, especially if it only lasts 11 miles on the road. Estate Agent Claude Elmer only had his gold 2.7-L Jaguar XJ8 for three days when he noticed "a bit of smoke" coming out of the hood. He parked the $106,000 car and saw flames coming up from under the hood.

The remains of the Jaguar, which burned to a shell, are being examined by Jaguar to see if they can determine what went wrong. In the meantime, Elmer is being shipped a new car. "Once a Jaguar man, always a Jaguar man," he said.
