When you are looking for a good quality used car do you understand how to find the best car for the money you are spending? Do you know where to look and what terms in the used car market mean what? Understanding these few things before you visit your South Carolina Auto Dealers can ensure that you will get the best car possible, as well as warranty to ensure that your purchase will be as worry free as possible. 

Most of us would love to have a new car, but with the current state of the economy we often wonder if we can afford to have one. Many of us opt to shop for a less expensive used car but we still want a good quality car that is covered by a warranty and will give us a long life and reliability. Buying a used car can definitely save us a great deal of money on the cost of a car, but it does not come without its risks. 

Not all South Carolina auto dealers are fussy about the cars they sell, and it can be all too easy to get the wrong car if you are not careful about the South Carolina auto dealers you shop at. While you may pay a bit more money shopping at a car dealership rather than a traditional used car lot keep this in mind, if you buy from a car dealership it is likely that the car has been gone through and it is also likely that there are warranties on the cars that these South Carolina auto dealers sell. The smaller used car lots will not always take the time to do any of this, so you are truly taking your chances when you walk into one of these. 

You will hear two different terms when you go to a car dealership to shop for a new used car. One of them is pre-owned and while technically this does not mean anything, most South Carolina auto dealers use this term to denote a more premium car. Most dealers will wholesale their other cars that are not in good condition or cannot be repaired to be in good condition, so what is left in their lot are those cars that they can sell for a premium price which is still far below what a new car will cost you. A pre-owned car has usually been gone through by their mechanics and is clean and ready for a new owner. A certified used car is an entirely different term and one that is normally dictated by the factory, this means that there is no inch of the car that has not been gone over and restored to like new condition. This car has been gone over and had every system inspected, worn parts replaced and everything in the car is in perfect working order. A certified used car will cost you more than an average used car but will still cost you less than a new car.
