Most dealers now have an Internet desk. Go to the manufacturer's website and get a list of dealers within, say, 200 miles. E-mail each dealership asking for a price for the car, 1972 pontiac trans am, truck or SUV you wish and detail color, accessories etc. A 200 mile drive isn't bad if it will save you a thousand dollars, for example. It is not uncommon to either have a 'relationship' with a local dealership or believe it would just be easier to buy locally. At least with the emailed offers you have, you can bargain hard with the local dealer and see if they will match the offer - or if more, decide if you are willing to pay a bit more to this local business. If, after talking with your local dealer, you decide to drive to the dealer for the 1972 pontiac trans am, or car, SUV or truck, talk with the sales person on the telephone and confirm all details. You don't want to drive any significant distance for no good reason and tell them you are driving x miles.

You should not consider the issues raised in the new vehicle section when it comes to buying a pre-owned 1972 pontiac trans am or pre-owned car or pre-owned truck. Used vehicles have a whole different set of 'rules'. Odds are that if you are in the market for a used car, 1972 pontiac trans am, SUV or truck, you will look in up to 4 category of places - these are: a used car lot; a new car dealership that has a used car lot; you will look on the Internet or in the paper for someone selling the vehicle you desire, or, you go the one of the sales lots for a national rental agency. If you are going to purchase the vehicle from a stand-along used car lot, check out their reputation for honesty and fair dealings through the Better Business Bureau. New car dealerships with a resale could be a more conservative place to make the purchase of the 1972 pontiac trans am, truck, SUV or car as often the cars come in as part of the new sale and these dealerships often offer a warranty as to the condition of the vehicle. Again reputation is an important matter, as well. Buying from a private party has both the most potential advantage and potentially the greatest downside. The advantage - no mark-up for a retailer. The disadvantage - someone could be unloading their 'lemon'. So, always, have the vehicle checked out by a reputable mechanic before buying it. We like buying a vehicle from the sales lot of a national rent-a-car agency whether it is a car, truck, SUV or 1972 pontiac trans am. They are well maintained and generally not more than a year or two old. You don't necessarily get any 'steals' but the car should be in great mechanical shape.
