You will most likely get your next used truck, your 1997 ford contour, your SUV or your car through 1 of 4 sources.

To our way of thinking, the least favorite place to purchase a used vehicle is a used car lot. Having said that, under the right circumstances, it could be fine. The key element is the reputation the lot has for fair dealings. Two places to check would be the Better Business Bureau and the local Chamber of Commerce.
