You should not consider the issues raised in the new vehicle section when it comes to buying a pre-owned 1999 ford explorer or pre-owned car or pre-owned truck. Used vehicles have a whole different set of 'rules'. You will most likely get your next used truck, your 1999 ford explorer, your SUV or your car through 1 of 4 sources. These sources would be: (a) a new car dealership that also sells used vehicles; (b) a stand-alone used car lot; (c) from a private party that is advertising the vehicle for sale either in the local newspaper or online; or (d) a national rent-a-car company. 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. A reputable new car dealer is certainly a good place to look for that truck, SUV, car or 1999 ford explorer. Often you will find that the vehicle includes a warranty which should provide some 'comfort' as to the value in your purchase. Probably the means of purchasing a car with the greatest spread between 'great deal' and 'boy did you get taken' is the private party purchase. Great deal - well there is no mark-up by the retailer. Boy did you get taken - the seller could be unloading a car with terrible history of accidents and mechanical problems. Research the car's accident history and get it checked out by a car specialist. Major rental agencies can prove to be a solid alternative for that purchase whether related to a car, truck, 1999 ford explorer or SUV. They are usually a year or so old and the agencies maintain the cars religiously since breakdowns are always a costly matter
