What are the benefits of buying used vehicles from a UCDA member?

• UCDA member dealers ensure you get the 13% trade-in tax savings.
• Dealers have access to financing programs and can offer trade-in options which can make your used car purchase more affordable.
• Dealers can offer warranties and after-sale service for used vehicles. Consumers also have access to a compensation fund for their protection.
• Dealers guarantee that the vehicles they sell aren't stolen and don't have any liens against them. They must also supply you with all known material facts about the vehicle, such as previous accidents.
• When a dealer buys a car to resell, he has it thoroughly inspected and refurbished - both mechanically and cosmetically. That usually accounts for most of any difference in cost between buying privately and from a dealer.
