Dashboard Light, which is constantly inserted in these threads by a few other members, tests auctioned vehicles. Not for me but to each his/her own.
Funny thing is that site doesn't even test them. They only look at "powertrain issues" on auctioned vehicles. Then they make up some "Quality index" and spit it out. No mention of what the "powertrain issue" is or anything. The spammer that usually brings it up always forgets that piece.
For all the hate that Consumer Reports gets around here they seem to be one of the better ones as they list the various areas (powertrain, brakes, body, electronics, etc) so you can get a better idea of where problem areas lie.
