When you look at our wide selection of Scott used cars, you may wonder where they all come from. Used cars come from multiple sources, but they all pass rigorous quality checks before they make it onto the lot at Scott Chevrolet. Here are the most common origins of our used vehicles. 

Buying from Auctions

Most cars on the lot at our dealership were purchased from used car auctions, which take place across the country. These auctions are only for dealers buying in bulk, and are a major part of the economy for used cars. Many of these cars are former rental cars that are no longer new enough for companies to use, but still have great maintenance and service records.

Buying from Drivers

Of course, dealerships also buy cars the old-fashioned way: from drivers walking in looking to sell. While some drivers are simply looking to sell their vehicle, in most cases this is part of a trade-in deal. Depending on the dealership’s needs, they may put it directly onto the lot or package it up with others to sell at a future auction.

Trusting Your Car

If you have apprehensions about where your potential new drive has been, consider the Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned program. Each car comes with a comprehensive CARFAX® vehicle history report with information about past accidents, service visits, and deed transfers. A 172-point inspection covers every part of the interior, exterior, powertrain, and electronics, ensuring that only the best models from auctions or private sale make it into this category.
