What Makes a Used Car "Certified"?
Used cars were once the province of the somewhat shady lot on the corner lit with the bare electric bulbs, populated by guys in bad suits.

Making a bad buy can haunt you -- and perhaps your credit -- for years. Before purchasing a used vehicle, it's essential to find out as much as you can about the vehicle's maintenance history and any mechanical problems it might have.
