Pocon, thanks for sticking your neck out for a profession that often gets a bad rap.
Now onto my question.
I'm test driving a vehicle tomorrow. It's a
used toyota corolla that's selling for under bluebook. I did a carfax check and it came up clean, single owner, accurate mileage etc. But I also googled the dealership name and found some really
awful reviews.
So as a seemingly ethical insider in this business, I'm turning to you for advice. Why would a dealership sell a used car for this much under blue book? Are the complaints a sign that they're going to (try to) screw me? If so, what should I be on my guard for?
The follow-up: the car is listed at "Toyota certified used." Does this actually mean anything, or (especially given the complaints about the dealership) is it a pretty worthless guarantee?
