Our team makes sure that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thirdcoastautos.com\/blog\/which-brands-make-the-best-used-cars\/\">all the vehicles we sell are safe and reliable<\/a>, but we would never ask you to take our word for it. That&#8217;s why we strictly follow Federal Trade Commission guidelines and provide a buyer\u2019s guide with each vehicle. So, what does a used car\u2019s buyer\u2019s guide tell you? It is important to note that a buyer\u2019s guide differs slightly from the information contained in a CarFax report. Both provide important details about an individual vehicle, they just kind of approach things differently. Let\u2019s take a closer look at this important element in buying a pre-owned vehicle.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000\" data-contrast=\"auto\">READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thirdcoastautos.com\/blog\/how-can-i-add-hands-free-calling-to-my-car\/\">Can I add new tech to my old car?<\/a><\/span><\/strong><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thirdcoastautos.com\/used-cars-austin-tx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View the Third Coast Auto Group inventory<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-red-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thirdcoastautos.com\/contact-third-coast-auto-group-in-austin-tx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact Third Coast Auto Group today<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Buyer\u2019s&nbsp;Guide&nbsp;Details&nbsp;You&nbsp;Should&nbsp;Know&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Without getting too deep in the weeds of automotive jargon, a vehicle\u2019s buyer\u2019s guide is the top tool for giving\u00a0potential buyers\u00a0an objective\u00a0look\u00a0at the vehicle\u2019s equipment.
