Good source for a used car

I'm buying a car for my daughter...I have checked out Cars.com, eBay and others and come up empty. I am thinking I might have better luck going to a large-ish, reputable used car dealer. Does anyone have any good experiences with local sellers? Suggestions?


My family has had a long line of used cars over decades from Andy's Auto in Union. 


depending on what you are looking for, speak to BJ at Bernie's,  73 Millburn Ave, Millburn. Bought a used Mazda Protege for our son from him about 6 years ago that our daughter still uses. He's a great guy, and our trusted mechanic as well. 


Marano and sons has a good rep...at least they used to...haven't checked lately...they mostly have newer used cars.....they are in Westfield/Garwood


avoid autoland on 22


Is there a Carmax near there?  Relatives have had good results from them.



I've had good luck with craigslist.


Not sure of your budget or what type you are looking for but my son is going to be putting his Scion TC ( $12K-- 50K miles  ) on the market in the next few days - its white with a nice detail pinstripe, smoked glass and well kept 

PM if you have any interest 


2005 Honda Accord, 128 thou miles, $5,000.

Contact me!

Andys, yes.  Also ebay - looking for cars that are local enough to drive and have checked out by your garage.

good luck!


+1 for Bernie at Bernie's in Millburn. He sold us a used VW for my daughter several years ago that is the best car we've ever owned. Plus, the car belonged to another client of his, so he knew it inside out. He has kept it serviced and, when an unexpected problem occured, he fixed it at no charge. Very trustworthy and sells a small pool of excellent used vehicles. 

 (Tell him Deborah with the 2000 Passat sent you!)


I've bought my last few used cars with the help of truecar.com




Another +1 for Bernie's in Millburn. Been our mechanic for decades.

(Also, we will most probably be selling our 2004 Honda Pilot in July. Low mileage, well cared for. We're the original owners; only selling because we will likely have 3 cars (all Hondas) but only 2 drivers remaining.)


To add to the mix ... call Charlie Betzel at Maplecrest near the 78 on ramp beyond the Whole Foods. He is my brother-in-law and will let you know if he has something that matches what you are looking for or not without a big song and dance.


Just be sure to have 1) a budget - what range do you want to spend 2) an idea of what you are looking for 2 door/4 door/ decent gas mileage/ under 25,000/50,000/100,000 miles/ certain make or model.


Tell him Marko told you to call to ask if he has anything that resembles #2 in the #1 range and he will let you know. They are a new car dealer but they get all kinds of trade-ins all the time. 


We've used Valley Auto Sales on Valley Street in SO twice now.
