You should not consider the issues raised in the new vehicle section when it comes to buying a pre-owned 2001 honda odyssey or pre-owned car or pre-owned truck. Used vehicles have a whole different set of 'rules'. There are 4 categories of places to purchase a used car, truck or SUV or 2001 honda odyssey. There are: first, a stand alone used car lot; second, a used car lot associated with a new car dealership; third, from a private party; and finally, one of the national rent-a-car companies selling inventory. 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 2001 honda odyssey. 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, 2001 honda odyssey or SUV. They are usually a year or so old and the agencies maintain the cars religiously since breakdowns are always a costly matter
