What is a manufacturer buyback?

Buyback vehicles are most commonly known as vehicles repurchased by the manufacturer due to an issue, defect, back-ordered replacement part, or merely a complaint.

In some instances, a goodwill buyback can be processed simply for the satisfaction of a customer. Some states have consumer-friendly laws that allow such buybacks to take place, even in situations where the vehicle has met manufacturer standard specifications and no problems exist. Another example, which mostly applies to imported vehicles, occurs when a back-ordered part needs to be shipped in from countries like Germany. Under circumstances where the replacement part may take an extended period of time to arrive, the vehicle is often repurchased by the manufacturer instead. In other instances, we have found that consumers take advantage of these laws to get a higher payout than what they might receive by trading in the vehicle at a dealership.

In the event that an actual problem is found when a vehicle is bought back, the manufacturer is held responsible for making any necessary repairs prior to the resale of the vehicle. Manufacturers often repurchase these vehicles from their owners under the Lemon Law. The vehicles continue to carry the remaining balance of the factory warranty coverage, which stays fully intact, unlike salvaged or rebuilt vehicles where the factory warranty is void. In fact, most vehicles that are bought back also carry an additional one-year limited warranty on concerns relating to the buyback, even if the original factory warranty has expired.

It is common practice for vehicles that have been bought back to come with documents specifying the reason for the buyback. These documents typically include disclosure statements that acknowledge the vehicle's specific past concern to the next owner and detail any repairs that have been made. Buyback vehicles will often carry a brand on the title that reflects it as a manufacturer buyback or Lemon Law buyback, in accordance with the state's applicable laws. A history report from Carfax will indicate the same details as the title.

Our view on the buyback vehicles we offer

For many years, our customers have seen great value in the buyback vehicles we offer, and we strongly believe these vehicles are an excellent value for all our future customers as well. We recommend, and offer all our customers the opportunity to have, their vehicle of choice inspected prior to purchase. Keep in mind that the majority of our vehicles are covered under warranty.

We stand behind the vehicles we sell, and we would even be willing to purchase our vehicles back from our customers if they decide they don't want to purchase their next vehicle from us (restrictions apply). We would strongly encourage anyone who would like to buy a high-quality vehicle at thousands of dollars in savings to consider a manufacturer buyback with the same confidence that we have in them.

A manufacturer buyback model represents a unique opportunity to get a great price on a quality car, truck, or SUV that was repurchased by the manufacturer. These vehicles were bought back as a gesture of goodwill when a customer found an issue that was unacceptable. The good news is that the issue has been fixed, and the even better news is that the price is reduced significantly, so it can be an unusually good deal.

At Atlanta Best Used Cars in Atlanta, GA, we believe manufacturer buyback vehicles are such a good value that we have made a specialty of offering them to our customers. Because we understand that our customers want to be reassured they are not just buying someone else's unresolved problems, we are happy to report that most of these vehicles are so new, they still come with the remainder of the original new vehicle warranty.

In addition to the remaining new vehicle warranty, most vehicles in our manufacturer buyback program have a one-year limited warranty covering whatever concerns prompted the buyback in the first place. That extra warranty is in effect even if the original new vehicle warranty has expired. Our manufacturer buyback vehicles were quality models to begin with, and the warranty provides extra protection.

Most commonly, a vehicle that has been bought back by the manufacturer has documents that spell out the reason for the buyback. Documents typically include disclosure statements that explain the original owner's past concerns and provide detail on any repairs that have been made. These vehicles get repaired in accordance with state law, and you would not see this vehicle if we were not fully confident in the repairs that were done.

You have probably heard about salvage vehicles that have been totaled and rebuilt, but it is hard to know whether the underlying problems were fixed properly. What is especially disappointing about these vehicles is that the salvage or rebuilt status nullifies any warranty, which is a major reason we do not offer those vehicles. Our manufacturer buyback models are not salvage models. Most come with a warranty.

Sometimes a manufacturer buyback vehicle is one that was repurchased because of an actual defect or a malfunction in the operation of the car. Sometimes a part was needed to fix the problem, and because of supply challenges, the repair would have taken longer than the owner found acceptable. In some cases, it is a complaint that was never confirmed, but the manufacturer repurchases the vehicle anyway as a gesture of goodwill.

At Atlanta Best Used Cars, we have a lot of experience seeing our customers drive home in a manufacturer buyback model and feel very satisfied, both with the price and the quality of the car. These vehicles have been repaired as needed, thoroughly inspected, and most are covered by one or more warranties.
