Are Private Cars For Sale Better Value Than Dealers Cars?

A private car for sale is something that will look very attractive due to the ease of the purchase and there is no major pressure from salesmen and if you are looking at the car then you are actually interested in that make and model.

So you decide you are after a used car so you head over to your local car dealer and you see what they have available you fall in love with a little Mazda convertible you take it for a test drive yet and it feels great the power the wind in your hair and yet the only thing holding you back is the price tag. The cars salesmen puts a little pressure on you to buy.

With a used car dealer the pros are that you can test drive more than one car and they can give you some good advice on the cars for sale but its all going to be slightly biassed yet you know that any car you buy will have been checked for safety and is going to be running perfectly. You will also get hopefully good after care and you will also have a place to take the care to get it serviced. But then you need to think is it worth the extra money? The used car dealer needs to make money and he will only be able to do this by selling slightly more expensive cars.

However private cars for sale have some great pros and cons. The first pro is that you will save a lot of money if you buy direct from the seller cutting out the middle man. You will be able to negotiate the price pretty easily as no private seller likes to hold on to a car for a long time so they will normally accept a knocked down price. Buying privately you will be able to see what the owner is like whether you think he has looked after the car or whether its been used and abused and this to me is very important as any car looks good after a wash and a polish!

Private cars for sale however don't come with any type of warranty and is sold as seen which basically means you take the car as you find it. This is a bit scary if you have no idea about cars however there are services out there that will give you advice and will look at the car with you. I go and see a lot of cars for people and give my report on it and my advice. Most people know a mechanic that can come and view a car with them.

When I go and look at a car for someone the person that asked me to come normally tells me the maximum they want to pay for the car then they leave the bidding to me and the negotiating and I normally get the car at a great price.

There is a lot of things that can go wrong with both ways of buying a used car but you need to judge for yourself what the best method is for you. I personally like car auctions as there is the thrill involved with bidding and winning and you get the cars exceptionally cheap. If you don't know a mechanic to come and look at the car with you phone the AA or the RAC up as they offer a really good service for not a great deal of money.
