You should take advantage of these free services. Want a quick and painless way to get competing quotations for that 97 nissan altima, car, truck or SUV. Go to the vehicle manufacturer's site and get a list of all dealerships within a couple hundred miles of your location. E-mail them all specifying exactly what you wish to purchase. Depending on the number of dealerships, you could get back a dozen or more competing quotations. Be sure to include the details of the vehicle you want - color, model, accessories. Odds are there is a dealership for your vehicle nearby. But without some competing offer, there is little incentive for that dealership to 'deal'.

If, after talking with your local dealer, you decide to drive to the dealer for the 97 nissan altima, or car, SUV or truck, talk with the sales person on the telephone and confirm all details.

Odds are very good that if they say they have the vehicle and confirm the price that you will make the purchase. No reputable dealership will cause you to make such a drive for no good reason. You might have some concerns about servicing your new SUV, 97 nissan altima, truck or car since you are buying it at a distance from where you live. Don't.

A pre-owned 97 nissan altima 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. Generally speaking you will buy your car, truck, 97 nissan altima 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 97 nissan altima, 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 97 nissan altima. 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.
