What are you looking for & what makes a used car dealer good? Different dealers specialize in different aspects of the automotive business.  Are reviews & reputation important to you?  Do you have poor credit and need flexible financing?  Do you feel like you have to wait for your tax refund before you can buy?  Are you looking for a particular kind of vehicle?

All of these questions will determine which dealerships suit you best.

Reviews & Reputation:

Yelp.com – You can’t go wrong with Yelp. It is a trusted website used by millions of people around the world.  Simply search “Used Car Dealer” and make sure the search is in your city.

Google.com – According to leaders in the automotive industry, many dealers report that 60-90% of their customers find them via Google. Search “used car dealer near me” or “used car” and your zip code.  Focus on the results with 4 or 5 stars and plenty of reviews!

Flexible Financing:

Google (again) – Search the term “buy here pay here car [your city]” for the best results. Once again, stick with results with 4 or 5 stars with plenty of reviews.  5 stars with only 1 review may not be as good as 4 stars with 27 reviews.
