Where Do We Get Our Used Ford Vehicles From?

At Kearny Mesa Ford, we buy our used Ford cars from a variety of sources, including car auctions, trade-ins, and more. Visit our dealership to find out more about where our cars come from and take one for a test drive.

Car Auctions

Like most car dealerships, we get most of our used cars from used car auctions that happen across the country. Some auctions sell cars of any type, but others are more specialized, focusing on a particular type or cars that were all acquired the same way. As a Ford dealership, we also buy from specialized closed auctions hosted by Ford, giving us even more access to used vehicles.

Trade-Ins

Many of the used cars on our lot also come from trade-ins, but not all cars that are traded in make it onto our lot. A car has to be carefully inspected and still run well to be sold right after being traded in. Recent models with excellent service histories can become Certified Pre-Owned models, which includes an even more thorough inspection and vehicle history report.

Other Sources

If a driver chooses not to buy the car at the end of a lease, it is usually sold as a used car. Recent cars may also come from corporate fleets or from rental agencies, although these are usually bought through an auction. These cars feature the latest technology and have low mileage, so they’re great picks for your next drive.
