1. As a dealer, Continental Car Sales has access to a wider selection of used cars taking into account popularity and market trends, miles, interior, exterior and mechanical condition. Some cars do come to us by way of customers as trade-ins. Most though come from used car auctions which is the most common source of cars for resell for professional resellers.
2. Continental Car Sales has greater resources than a private seller to research the history and condition of a vehicle before we take possession of it for resale. This includes things such as dealer Carfax reports, Manheim and frankly, just seeing the condition of the vehicle at the auction yard. Thus, Continental Car Sales has the ability to thoroughly inspect a vehicle before we decide to add it to our inventory. Owning a car for most of us is an expense. We help take the ouch out of that expense in a manner you can rely on and afford.
3. Continental Car Sales has more room to bring the vehicle up to its true potential value than a private seller. As an authorized dealer directly associated with Conti Car Care, we can obtain the best parts for the job at wholesale rates.

With Continental Car Sales, you can be assured you're buying a quality used vehicle at a very reasonable price.
4. We take care of the sales tax and DMV paperwork (registration and title) for you. Whether you buy a vehicle from a private seller or from a dealer, you must pay California sales tax.
