What To Consider When Buying A Car From a Private Seller

7/26/2021

​Buying from private sellers is also an excellent option for prospective car owners. Private sellers may have different reasons for selling their preloved vehicles. As a buyer, here are the things you should consider:
Benefits of Choosing Private Sale
Compared to dealerships, private sellers may offer lower prices to someone who can take care of the car as much as they did. They see the worth of their car beyond the monetary value and prefer buyers who appreciate it.

On the Contrary
A private sale may not legally protect buyers in case car issues arise later. Private sellers may not be obligated to ensure that the vehicle is indeed in excellent working condition. Also, some dealerships may have already developed a reliable system through a good reputation and repeat business. Online reviews can also provide help to buyers when making a decision.

How to Buy from a Private Seller
After considering the pros and cons of buying from a private seller, here are the following steps to take:
  1. Choosing the Private Seller
    You can look for a private seller from your acquaintances and circle of friends. You can also utilize the ads sections and make sure to pay attention to the car’s description. Besides the relevant information, you should also look for the car’s usage history. These include any damages, repairs done, or any accidents.  
  2. Meet and Greet
    Contact the seller to confirm the descriptions they enumerated in the ad. You can also ask for a test drive, preferably at a public place. Public parking lots make an excellent place to do this. Before the test drive, make sure to check the vehicle for tire tread, pedal wear, lights, and reverse gear. You can also ask the help of a mechanic to examine the car.
  3. Close the Deal
    Suppose all goes well during the examination and test and you agree on a price. Ask for a signed receipt and process the transfer of ownership. Check with the local BMV/DMV about sale documentation to know your obligations.

Conclusion
When buying from private sellers, it is crucial to know what to expect and how to proceed. Previous owners might expect you to care for their cars as much as they did. So, make sure to ask them for their best practices and get car insurance for it.
