>>4624239Talking to a private party is going to be so much easier. Used dealers are professionals at pokerfacing lies to you about how reliable a car is, or how clean, or all that. Plus they don't know the car's personal history. You will get fucked over and overpay.
A private owner is just trying to get their car sold, they will negotiate more than a dealer, they will not be nearly as good most of the time at fucking you over and it's generally easy to tell if they are being honest. Also you can always take it to a mechanic to get a checkup on the vehicle before you buy it, I've done it to many cars I purchase.
