You had better squeeze your lemons to make sure they are totally fresh before you buy them.

According to a recent story carried by CBC News in Canada, hundreds of lemon-branded vehicles are ending up at Canadian dealerships, where the vehicles checkered history is not revealed to the customer. The northern migration of “lemons” apparently has increased since the U.S. and Canadian dollar have reached parity.The story reported by CBC reveals that all 50 states have lemon laws on the books, but only 19 require the title of the car brand it as a lemon. That designation often does not stay with the car when it is sold out-of-state. In one instance detailed in the piece, a Kia that was originally sold in Florida for $28,100 was declared a lemon and was sold at auction to a Winnipeg dealer for $13,100. It ended up on a Winnipeg dealer’s lot, on sale for $24,980 and with no warning of its history. The CBS News investigation discovered that between May 2006 and November 2007, 852 vehicles subject to a lemon law buy back in the U.S. ended up in Canada.
