True. I wish someone had warned me off of used car dealerships.
To add to all your points, maybe one car in 100 is a lemon (has something seriously broken), but 100% of lemons eventually get traded to car dealers for trade-in value.
I feel like the odds of getting a lemon new or private sale aren't bad. But the odds of getting a lemon on a used car lot skyrocket.
