New car dealers generally keep only the best cars and usually give them a thorough inspection. In addition, consider buying from a dealer who handles the particular brand of vehicle that you are interested in.
Rental returns are often an excellent value: these vehicles less than 2 years old, well equipped and maintained, with good warranties.
Private individuals are another source to be considered when purchasing a used vehicle: one benefit is that the potential buyer can meet the seller face to face and inquire:
- About any mechanical problems,
- Who was the principal driver
- Why the vehicle is being sold, and
- Request maintenance records
