You should not consider the issues raised in the new vehicle section when it comes to buying a pre-owned 97 dodge caravan 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 97 dodge caravan, 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. Purchasing a used vehicle from a used car lot can be a dicey deal. Be sure to investigate the reputation of the lot. We suggest you do a search on the Internet of the Better Business Bureau's website to see if there have been any complaints filed against the used car lot. Pre-owned vehicles, as they are often called by new car dealerships are a viable source for your purchase of that 97 dodge caravan related, car, truck or SUV. Many provide a multi-thousand mile warranty against defects. That provides a lot of comfort for those that fear the vehicle will fall apart once driven off the lot. Getting your car from a private party has a strong upside and a strong downside. The upside is that there is no middle man to raise the price. The downside is that you don't know the history of the car nor the honesty of the seller. Absolutely, if you are considering a specific car, get it inspected by a mechanic you trust. Probably the most conservative purchase would be from one of numerous national rental agencies. They are constantly turning over year to two year old and they are generally well maintained. So whether your investigation relates to 97 dodge caravan or a car or truck, consider the national rent-a-car market.
