I would think that reputable dealer is also like the above food stall. They want a good long term business. If they sell problematic cars, their business couldn't have sustained. Their profit margin is big, isn't it? So, why not make sure the business ethic is good?
If used car dealers are ethical why don't they give longer warranty say 12 months & provide car owner manual since they are closed to the source? Something is not quite jive bcos recon car like yours are treated as new car by banks, dealer sells as if it is a new car (referring to its price). BUT if it has been sold with 1 month warranty (No detail documents to show what is warranted) plus you don't even know the background of this car & some cases don't even have an owner's manual to refer even you buy from a reputable dealer, it does not will give one a good feel.
Fortunately, I have no passion for recon make coz the design is 'dated'.
