Every car on Bestest comes from a factory-authorized dealer. Most are franchise stores an automaker licenses to sell its cars new, like your local Toyota, Honda, Lexus or BMW dealer. A few are stores the automaker runs itself, like Tesla's. Either way, the automaker stands behind the store: it runs the certified pre-owned programs, answers to the factory, and puts a brand name on every car it sells.
That's the whole list. Bestest doesn't feature independent lots, buy-here-pay-here lots or private sellers. Every car still has to pass the same standard for model, condition, history and price. How we pick the cars →
