Searching for a Used Car for Sale by Owner in Pomona, CA

Are you located in Pomona, California and trying to find the right used car? Searching for cars for sale by owner can be a smart, affordable option. No matter if you are buying a car for the first time or are upgrading to a newer model, buying a car from the private owner has its advantages over buying from a dealer. With the right information, you should be able to find a reasonable vehicle that fits your needs and budget. Here’s what you need to know.

Why Buy a Used Car from a Private Seller?

When it comes to buying a car, you're usually faced with a couple of choices - dealer or private seller. While dealerships have some benefits, there are some clear advantages to looking for private cars for sale.

  • Save Money

Generally, you should expect to pay less for a car from a private seller. Vehicles sold by dealers come with additional overhead costs, such as marketing, warranties, and operating costs for the dealership's facilities. Private sellers sell the car for a more competitive price.

  • No Hidden Fees

With dealerships comes the added burden of more fees, such as documentation and processing fees as well as extended warranties. Whether looking for cars from owner for sale, a private seller usually doesn't impose these fees, providing you with a smoother purchase transaction.

  • Speak Directly with the Seller

When you buy from a private seller, you speak directly with the owner of the car. This direct contact allows for full access to the owner's knowledge of the car's history, condition, and other information related to the car. It's more difficult to obtain this extent of descriptive details from dealers.

  • Varietal

If you're after unique models or vintage options, that is usually not available from dealers, purchasing from a private seller exposes you to a bigger selection.

Always Check Vehicle History Report

Vehicle history (past use of the vehicle, like accidents before being sold as a private seller car purchase) is critical. A detailed history will tell you a vehicle's history including all the details about any accidents reported, repairs, recalls, and title status. Not having this information could lead to you purchasing a car that has significant hidden issues.

KarKiosk's KarReport is a Helpful Tool in This Regard

The KarReport offers:

  • Accident history
  • Service records
  • Titles (to confirm there is not a salvage or rebuilt title)
  • Owners

Using a service like KarKiosk will give you all the information required to help you make an informed purchase choice.

Doing a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI)

Even if you feel the vehicle is perfect, doing a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) will help identify potential issues. Here are your choices to get a PPI done:

  • Technician Inspection (Old School)

Hire a professional and a technician will inspect the car and you will be provided a report detailing everything from the engine, brakes, tires, and transmission, etc.

  • AI - Inspection

New advancements have introduced AI-based vehicle inspection, quick, efficient, and thorough inspections! KarKiosk also provides a state-of-the-art solution that allows you to receive an extensive, AI-based report on the car’s health without leaving your home.

The second option ensures that you will not overpay, and that there are no unexpected surprises or expenses after your purchase. A small expense of a PPI can stave off unnecessary repair costs in the future.

Be Safe When Buying From a Private Seller

Safety is key whenever you are buying private used cars for sale. These are some strategies to make sure the transaction goes securely for you:

  • Always Meet in Public: Conduct the transaction in a public location. Plenty of parking at a coffee shop, a mall, possibly a police station.
  • Bring Someone With You: You should never go to a public meeting place alone if you can avoid it.
  • Verify Seller's Identity: Ask for seller ID (driver's license) and the name is on the title.
  • Don't Use Cash: Only use a cashier's check or an escrow service to make payments, to avoid fraud.
  • Don't Test Drive Alone: Test Driving - do not go into secluded locations and do stick to main roads and/or test routes.

With careful planning and precaution, you can have a safe transaction when purchasing a car with a private seller.

Document Requirements for a Private Car Sale in California

  • Bill of Sale: Must contain the sale price, VIN, and both party's signature (don't forget it!).
  • Smog Certificate: If you bought the car smog certificate will need to be provided; the seller is required to provide a smog certificate if a smog certificate is required based on the age and type of car.
