What are the Benefits of Buying a Used Car by Owner Instead of a Dealer?

When shopping for used cars, you may have some advantages of buying from private sellers versus buying from a dealer.

Lower Prices

Dealers typically put a markup on the vehicles they sell to cover and maintain their overhead costs. Therefore, buying from an owner allows you to avoid paying for those costs, resulting in lower costs and usually a better value on the vehicle.

Negotiating

Private sellers tend to be more flexible with negotiating prices. In many cases, there is not an underlying "sales quota", which can make the transaction less pressurized and more authentic with respect to negotiations.

Knowledge

The owner has the vehicle's firsthand knowledge, quirks, and history. They can tell you all the relevant things that are specific to the vehicle including the vehicle's maintenance history, driving history, and things that may not be known by the dealer.

Dealers may offer warranties and guarantees, but the savings on the lower price combined with the benefits of buying from the owner can be worth it.

Always Check the Vehicle History Report

Understanding the vehicle's history on private used cars is essential.
A complete vehicle history report will provide information from accident history, service history, title status, and odometer. One great option is KarKiosk's KarReport, which makes that we provide detailed and accurate vehicle insights.

That way, you're not going to have any surprises, whether it be unforeseen damage or unpaid titles. You'll be able to feel good about your purchase, knowing all the history of the car.

Getting a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI)

A Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) is critical to perform on any used vehicle. This is especially important to conduct when buying from a private seller.

Inspecting Your Vehicle by a Technician

If you know a good mechanic, book an appointment to have your car inspected in person. The technician will look at most of the critical systems like the engine, the brakes, suspension, tires, etc., to determine if the car is in good working order and will be safe to operate.

AI-Driven Inspections

If you don't have a convenient way of visiting a mechanic, consider using KarKiosk's AI-Driven Inspection technology. This technology makes a comprehensive scan of your car's condition without an in-person visit. AI-driven reports provide you with a full understanding of your car's health to help you make wise buying decisions.

Be Safe When Buying from a Private Seller

Buying from a private seller poses its own challenges, so you always want to be safe. Here are a few tips about how to help keep yourself safe:

Meet in Public Spaces

Wherever you meet a seller in person, be sure to choose a public, well-lit, populated location, like a public parking lot or a police station.

Take a Friend

We all feel a little extra security when we have someone with us to look at the car and to make the transaction.

Use Secure Payments

Don't carry large amounts of cash! Use bank deposits or cashier's checks to keep payments secure.

Trust Your Instincts

You know what's safe - but if it doesn't seem right or too good to be true, keep an eye out.
