Private Sale

A private sale refers to purchasing a car without the use of a car dealer. Instead of purchasing your car from a dealership, you purchase it directly from the car's owner. Many car owners want to try to get more for their car by selling it to the public rather than trading it in for a discount at the car dealership. Since the car dealership is going to resell the car for profit, they do not offer as much as the owner might be able to get through a private sale for a used car.

Private sales are usually advertised via the local newspaper classified ads. Sometimes private sales are made via auction sites like Ebay. Also, with the popularity of the Internet, there is a large portion of cars that are sold directly from the Internet. The benefit of buying a car via a private sale is that often you can get a car for a much lower value than you would from a dealership.
