Looking for a new car and can’t decide whether you want to buy from a dealer or from a private party? Let’s go over these two methods of buying a car.

If your main concern is getting a car that is reliable and if you aren’t good at fixing cars yourself then you probably want to purchase directly from the dealer. That’s because dealerships usually allow you to purchase a warranty in case you need repairs. However, if you mainly want to save big bucks then your best bet is to purchase from a private seller. Individuals don’t have quotas to meet and generally won’t pressure you into purchasing anything (we’re not saying it’s not possible, but it’s rare). If you know your way around cars and aren’t afraid to get down and dirty fixing one then you would probably prefer to buy from a private seller. Car Dealerships St Paul and Car Dealerships Bloomington offers great deals on new and used autos in Minnesota. Check out Used GMC St Paul for great deals on pre-owned vehicles.

One drawback from buying from an individual is that you have to thoroughly inspect every detail. There are no guarantees and certainly no warranties. If you accidentally receive a bad apple (or what most like to refer to as a lemon) then you will need to spend your own hard earned money to get it fixed. Big repairs can cost big bucks. Private sellers may be more flexible with their price and open to negotiation. You are also less likely to be pressured into signing a deal by an individual whereas dealers my use high pressure tactics in order to get you to sign the deal. When you buy from the dealer they submit the paper work to the DMV while you do it yourself if you buy from an individual. It can be worth the hassle though if you end up saving thousands of dollars!
