Buying a Used Car: Dealer or Private Seller?
Why You Should Buy Used from a Dealership
If it’s time to replace your vehicle with another, buying used or Certified Used is a great option for those on a budget. Most used vehicles, depending on the year, will have few miles, the same quality as new and a lower price tag, making them the optimal choice for buyers. But which avenue should you take: dealer or private seller? Clearly, here at Cobb County Toyota, we have the strong opinion that buying your used car from the dealer is the better choice, and here’s why:
Warranties and Promotions
Your options are much wider when purchasing a used car from the dealer. And it’s not even just the volume of cars that you’ll get to browse. Some of our used cars still carry their original warranty, and we provide an option to add an extended warranty at purchase for additional coverage once the original expires. Plus, your deal with a private seller ends once the title is handed over and signed, but with our dealership, we can continue to offer service specials like free oil changes or tire rotations with your purchase, so your savings will continue long after you’ve driven off our lot.
Earned Reputation
Private sellers aren’t obligated to give you a good deal, treat you with respect or help with post-sale questions. The employees at a dealership, like here at Cobb County Toyota, will be exponentially more willing to help you at every step of the car-buying process, including finance, service and ordering parts. If your used car has a problem later after the sale, we’re here to answer your questions with our reputable customer service.
Financing Options
The final and most important reason you should buy your used car at a dealership is the financing options. Private sellers will want cash, but with a dealer, you can responsibly and safely pay month-by-month if you’d like, making your car-owning dreams a reality and your peace of mind standard.
