Ten Reasons to Buy a Used Car

Reason #10: Avoid Used Car Dealers

One of the best things about buying a used car is that you can buy directly from the personal selling the car with no middleman--used car salesman--between you and a fair deal.

While used car dealers perform a 'valuable' service, often used car lots charge 20-40% more for the same used car that you could buy from a private seller. 



Also, many people are intimidated by used car salesmen, renowned for their high pressure sales tactics and often questionable ethics.

Fortunately you can avoid all of this by buying a used car privately, direct from the previous owner. While you may need to do more research and perform your own inspection, it is usually worth it.
