A pre-owned 97 dodge van 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. 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 97 dodge van, truck, SUV or car you seek; (4) a national rent-a-car agency sales lot. The used car lot may or may not be the best place to make that purchase. Certainly there are plenty of movies that portray them as rip-off joints. But, if the lot has a reputation for fair dealings, then it could be OK. Ask them for references of past clients; check out any complaints they may have with the B.B.B. and also the local Chamber. Most new car dealers have a used car lot - they often call them 'pre-owned'. Look for the truck, SUV, car or 97 dodge van related vehicle to come with some kind of a warranty. Also, check out their business reputation. You see a car in the newspaper or at an online car site - should you buy it? Well, maybe. You have the best chance of getting a great price from a private party. You also have a chance of getting a real 'stinker'. So, take the car to a garage that you trust and have it inspected prior to making that purchase. Why not buy from one of a handful of national rent-a-car companies that must constantly turn-over their inventory. These agencies keep their cars, generally speaking, well maintained on a regular basis. Car, truck or 97 dodge van, consider the national agency as one of your alternatives.
