A pre-owned 2003 dodge stratus or pre-owned car or pre-owned truck sets up a completely different group of things to think about and ways to approach the acquisition. As a general statement, the purchase of a used 2003 dodge stratus, truck, car or SUV will happen one of four ways: (1) the used car lot of an established new car dealership; (2) through a private party which is advertising the sale of the vehicle; (3) a used car lot disassociated with any new car dealership; (4) the national rental companies selling their cars. 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 2003 dodge stratus. 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, 2003 dodge stratus or SUV. They are usually a year or so old and the agencies maintain the cars religiously since breakdowns are always a costly matter
