You should not consider the issues raised in the new vehicle section when it comes to buying a pre-owned 97 f350 ford or pre-owned car or pre-owned truck. Used vehicles have a whole different set of 'rules'. As a general statement, the purchase of a used 97 f350 ford, 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. 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 f350 ford 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 f350 ford, consider the national agency as one of your alternatives.
