Why Buy Cars for Sale by Owner Instead of a Dealership?

Price

The likelihood of negotiating is greater when buying from a private seller, and private seller prices for private cars are typically lower than dealership prices, as they do not have the profitability or overhead costs, they need to account for.

History & Transparency

A private seller generally is going to have more personal knowledge of the car's history, such as maintenance, accidents, and significant repairs.

No Dealer Fees

One of the things you will save from a private owner seller versus a dealership are dealer fees, such as documentation and processing fees, which can save you hundreds to thousands of dollars.

A Larger Variety of Options

Private sellers are more likely to list uncommon models, older classic vehicles, and desirable vehicles that dealerships may not have.

While used cars by owner have advantages, you should still be aware you are responsible for researching and being cautious during the process.

Engineers Suggest Conducting a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI)

A Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) is to confirm you’re actually getting what you’ are paying the seller for. Even with a thorough vehicle history report, checking in with a qualified professional can make hidden mechanical issues or repairs show up.

Below are Two Excellent PPI Selections:

  • In-Person Technician Inspection

You may hire a qualified technician local to inspect the car for all wear-and-tear or mechanical disFunctionality. The technician will offer an in-depth report on brakes, engine, tires, and may see things that matter in the configuration.

  • AI Inspection Using KarKiosk

If those inspection alternatives were more like the future you are interested in, please try the KarKiosk AI inspection program.
