Many auto dealers offer vehicles they call “program cars” in addition to the new and used cars a consumer would be traditionally familiar with.  These program cars are sometimes an excellent bargain as they are generally near new with low miles and have some manufacturer’s auto warranty remaining.

One of the problems I find in the way dealers offer these program cars are that they don’t always tell you the whole story of where they come from.  Program cars, many times are former rental vehicles that have been turned back over from the major rental companies for sale to the consumer.  As you may already know, rental vehicles are not traditionally treated very well.  It is for this reason that if you are purchasing a program car an extended auto warranty should be an essential part of the purchase.  When purchasing any car or truck that does not show a trail of its history is a risky proposition.  And auto warranty purchase almost completely eliminates this risk.

Do your research prior to purchasing and you will almost always be pleased with the product that you purchase.
