src=http://z.about.com/d/autoadvice/1/0/5/0/-/-/newmini.jpgwidth=180height=135align=left border=0/span Special ordering a vehicle should be no problem - unless the dealership has trouble fulfilling the order, which happens more often than you'd think. Perhaps the car is unavailable; or, if it does come in, it may not have all of the equipment options or qualities you were expecting.

In this case, you could find yourself in a predicament - especially if you've laid down a cash deposit, which may be difficult to get back from the dealership.

Should You Buy a Used Car from a Car Rental Company? - img alt=Thinking of Buying from a Car Rental Company?
src=http://z.about.com/d/autoadvice/1/0/3/0/-/-/carRentalcompany.jpgwidth=170height=145align=right border=0/span Car rental companies will often sell off some of their older cars and replace them with newer models in order to keep customers impressed with the quality and safety of their vehicles. This makes car rental sales lots a possibility for buying used, if what you want is a basic car (no frills). But there are also several cons to choosing this kind of vehicle. For example, oftentimes car rental companies are too busy trying to keep their cars on the road to have them sent for regular maintenance and other TLC a private owner might provide.
