You should not consider the issues raised in the new vehicle section when it comes to buying a pre-owned 97 ford escort or pre-owned car or pre-owned truck. Used vehicles have a whole different set of 'rules'. Odds are that if you are in the market for a used car, 97 ford escort, SUV or truck, you will look in up to 4 category of places - these are: a used car lot; a new car dealership that has a used car lot; you will look on the Internet or in the paper for someone selling the vehicle you desire, or, you go the one of the sales lots for a national rental agency. 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.

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, 97 ford escort or SUV. They are usually a year or so old and the agencies maintain the cars religiously since breakdowns are always a costly matter
