 I'm an eight-time customer. I know from experience I've never been ambushed by a major repair that came with a pre-owned car. My last eight cars have all been pre-owned. I'm currently driving a 2019 Nissan Rogue that has been trouble-free and performed like a champ. Here's the vetting process, though. This is one reason why they're so good at what they do. Each vehicle gets the Carfax Vehicle History Report.
