Answering Common Concerns Among Used Car Buyers

How do I avoid deceptive advertising when buying a used car?

When you shop with Sullivan Motor Company, the price is the price! We don’t play games with misleading offers, bait-and-switch tactics, or price adjusting once you arrive. You won’t find any hidden fees or rebates that only apply to specific buyers. We believe in transparency from the start, which is why you can calculate your payments easily on our website and even qualify for a real rate online before you visit our Mesa dealership. Customers from Phoenix, Chandler, and Scottsdale appreciate the honest, upfront way we do business, and we think you will too.

How do I know if I’m getting a good used car?

It’s important to understand the history of any used car you’re considering. Arizona law requires dealerships to disclose title issues such as salvage or rebuilt status, odometer discrepancies, and prior accident history. At Sullivan Motor Company, we go above and beyond to make sure our buyers know exactly what they’re getting. Our reputation in Mesa and the greater Phoenix area is built on honesty and reliability. We’re proud to have helped thousands of drivers from Gilbert, Chandler, and beyond find quality vehicles they can depend on.

How do I avoid defaulting on my car payments?

We know that buying a car is a long-term financial commitment, and it's important to find a deal you can truly afford. That’s why we make it simple to prequalify online through our secure website. Just select the vehicle you're interested in, enter your estimated credit score, target monthly payment, preferred loan term, and down payment. You can even add your trade-in to get an accurate picture of your financing options all before stepping foot on the lot. No pressure, no confusion, just smart tools that put you in control. Whether you're from Mesa, Gilbert, or Phoenix, Sullivan Motor Company puts your financial wellbeing first.

Can I trade in my current vehicle toward a used car?

We accept trade-ins from customers all over Chandler, Scottsdale, and the surrounding cities. Use our online trade-in tool to get a quick estimate and see how much your car is worth today.

Are there vehicle protection plans available?

Yes. We understand that even well-maintained used cars can sometimes need repairs. That’s why we offer optional vehicle service contracts and extended warranty plans for added peace of mind. Whether you're purchasing a late-model vehicle or something with more mileage, we’ll help you find the right protection plan. Our team will explain all coverage options clearly. No fine print surprises, just solid protection for drivers throughout Mesa and Phoenix.

Do I need perfect credit to get approved?
