Buy Used Cars Buy used cars that are certified and you'll get a better warranty. Generally, manufacturers consider only late-model, relatively low-mileage used cars and trucks with no history of major damage for their certification programs. The manufacturers then have a rigid inspection process of mechanical and cosmetic items that each vehicle must go through before they obtain certification. If necessary, repairs are made and scheduled maintenance is performed. Once a vehicle is certified, it is covered by a warranty that extends beyond the original factory warranty. Some automakers offer an exchange or a money-back guarantee if a customer is not satisfied with a certified preowned vehicle. Several manufacturers offer special financing, usually at lower rates than those on new-car loans or the typical, higher used-car loan rates. A number of automakers provide the vehicle’s history, which proves the vehicle has not been in a major wreck. Buyers should understand that they will pay more for a certified used car than for a regular used car. Financial contracts are very confusing. Before signing yourself to a major long term commitment, have an attorney familiar with financing and taxes examine the documents and explain the details.  Whether buying a new car, or a used car, or selling a vehicle; first check KBB (Kelley Blue Book), Black Book, Red Book, or the NADA Used Vehicle Guide.
