Black Book Auto
Black Book Auto is a service of National Auto Research, and has been a leading source of used vehicle valuations and pricing since 1955. Black Book Auto provides values for both new and used vehicles, including cars and light trucks produced since 1946, motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, personal watercraft, and heavy duty commercial trucks and trailers.
Black Book Auto may recommend certified used cars as an increasingly popular option. Generally, manufacturers consider only late-model, relatively low-mileage used cars and trucks with no history of major damage for their certification programs.
The manufacturers then have a rigid inspection process of mechanical and cosmetic items that each vehicle must go through before they obtain certification. If necessary, repairs are made and scheduled maintenance is performed.
Once a vehicle is certified, it is covered by a warranty that extends beyond the original factory warranty. Some auto makers offer an exchange or a money-back guarantee if a customer is not satisfied with a certified pre owned vehicle. Buyers should understand that they will pay more for a certified used car than for a regular used car.
