While a new purchase has one set of issues, the purchase of a used car or 2002 dodge van set up a different array of issues and considerations. If you are in the market for a used vehicle, then you should be looking in one or all of the following places: (1) your local used car lot; (2) your local new car dealerships which also have a used car lot; and/or (3) in the newspaper or on the Internet for a private party selling the 2002 dodge van, truck, SUV or car you seek; (4) a national rent-a-car agency sales lot. 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 2002 dodge van, 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 2002 dodge van. 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.
