You see the used car lots all over the place. It seems like no matter what you are looking for, somewhere there is a car dealership that has it. How do they get all these cars? The truth is these cars come from very specific sources, and each dealership usually has a preferred source.
Auctions
Many car dealerships in Buffalo Grove will use car auctions as a way to get their used car inventory. Other dealerships usually place cars that have been traded-in into the auction, when the car does not fit their niche market. If you trade in a Ford at a Dodge dealership, the Dodge dealership will likely send it to auction. At the auction, a Ford dealership will buy it, and then sell it to you on their lot. This helps keep dealerships full of the same make of vehicle.
Demos
Most dealers have a car that they use as a demo for their new cars. They do not want people putting extra mileage on their brand new vehicles, and a demo still lets you try out their newest models. After the model year is no longer brand new, these demos need to be sold. They are then added to the used car inventory for that dealership.
Fleet Vehicles and Lease
Fleet vehicles are generally only good for a few years, and after that they must be replaced. A used car dealer is going to have a large inventory of cars, usually all from the same company. Rental cars often end up as used cars this way, as rental car companies try to keep their fleet fresh. Leased cars are also a good source of inventory. As the lease expires, the cars get returned. With the stipulations in the lease in regard to mileage and maintenance, leased cars are generally returned in great condition.
