Dealership vs. Private Seller
Posted: Sunday, February 19th, 2017
Should I Buy a Car from a Dealership or a Private Seller?
Purchasing your next used vehicle from a dealership offers the following advantages over buying from a private seller:
- Full disclosure of the vehicle’s history
- More peace of mind thanks to dealer warranties
- Auto loan options from trusted used car financing suppliers
On top of that, if you buy from a private seller, you won’t have any options if the vehicle has problems.
Private Seller Risks
While buying a car off Craigslist might seem tempting, it’s often a risky proposition. Be sure you’re aware of these dangers before you make your decision:
- A car from a private seller may have an extensive accident or repair history.
- Independent sellers don’t accept financing, so you’ll need to pay in cash. If you’d prefer the convenience of a low-interest auto loan, you’re out of luck.
- Changing over ownership requires a lot of paperwork, and a private seller is less likely to know what they’re doing.
If those risks have you convinced that a dealership will be a better option, get in touch with Green Light Auto Credit.
Car Dealership Financing Advantages
Unlike a private seller, a dealership gives you the option to finance your next vehicle. In addition, you’ll enjoy the following advantages:
- Larger selection of vehicles
- Knowledgeable sales staff
- Extended warranties and protection plans
Financing with a dealership allows you to pay for the car over time, making your dream car, truck, or SUV more affordable than buying from a private seller. Be sure to check in with Green Light Auto Credit to get the ball rolling.
