The correct way to say this is by using the possessive form of the noun plus the gerund. "The chances of a customer's buying a 'lemon' assembled by workers rushing to finish off so as to catch the bus home are now well-nigh zero." However, it is common practice for native English speakers not to use the possessive in such sentences. http://www.getitwriteonline.com/archive/022205posscasegerunds.htm
I'm surprised you're not asking the meaning of this sentence since the word "lemon" is used figuratively.
