A well maintained pre-owned vehicle can be as good as a new one without paying for the major depreciation that occurs seconds after leaving the lot. There are many more good reasons to purchase a used car as opposed to a new one, such as, paying less for insurance on a used auto. Industry experts consider used cars today to be more reliable than ever before. Many dealers now offer certified used cars which come with a warranty and 24 hour roadside assistance. These popular certification programs mean that a used car has been brought as close as possible to the new state. Many knowledgeable consumers will not buy a used car unless it is certified. Purchasing a certified Used Dodge ensures that you have bought the best possible used vehicle.

Buying a used automobile is a great way to get a fully equipped vehicle that you might not be able to afford brand new. Also consumer surveys indicate that reliability has increased substantially over time. Rust and exhaust issues were a common problem 20 to 30 years ago but are rarely reported today. The Federal Trade Commission has a Used Car Rule that requires a Buyer's Guide to be posted in every used automobile on a dealer's lot.

This Buyer's Guide offers more protection for the consumer. Be sure you have the original guide or a copy because it becomes part of the sales contract. The guide overrides any different provisions in the rest of the sales contract. For example, if the contract stipulates the auto is sold "as is" and the guide says the vehicle comes with a warranty, the dealer must give you the warranty. Armed with this knowledge, you can make a well informed Used Dodge purchase.

The Dodge Avenger is a roomy midsized family sedan with high fuel efficiency and excellent styling reminiscent of the Charger muscle cars.
