You should not consider the issues raised in the new vehicle section when it comes to buying a pre-owned 2006 mercury mariner hybrid or pre-owned car or pre-owned truck. Used vehicles have a whole different set of 'rules'. Generally speaking you will buy your car, truck, 2006 mercury mariner hybrid or SUV from one of four sources: (a) private party; (b) a dealership with a used car lot; (c) a stand along used car lot; or (d) a car rental agency selling their inventory. 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 2006 mercury mariner hybrid, 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 2006 mercury mariner hybrid. 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.
