Buying From a Private Party vs. a Dealership

Purchasing a car is a big decision, and where you buy matters. While buying from a private seller may seem like a way to save money, it comes with risks and challenges that can outweigh the savings. Let’s break down why buying from a dealership like 615 Auto Sales is often the smarter, safer choice.


1. Financing Options Are Limited With Private Sellers

When buying from a private seller, you’ll need to arrange financing on your own. For those with less-than-perfect credit, this can be a significant hurdle. At 615 Auto Sales, we offer guaranteed financing, no matter your credit situation, and work with a network of lenders to find flexible options that fit your budget.


2. Warranties Are Rare With Private Sellers

Private sellers typically sell cars "as-is," leaving you with no warranty or protection if something goes wrong. At 615 Auto Sales, we provide free Carfax reports with every vehicle and offer service contracts for added peace of mind.


3. The Car Might Not Be Inspected

Most private sellers don’t have their vehicles inspected before selling. This means you could unknowingly buy a car with serious mechanical issues. At 615 Auto Sales, every car on our lot goes through a thorough inspection process to ensure reliability and safety.


4. Paperwork Can Be Confusing

Buying a car involves handling the title, registration, and other documents. With private sales, you’re responsible for figuring it all out, and mistakes can be costly. At 615 Auto Sales, we handle all the paperwork for you, making the process simple and stress-free.


5. Selling Your Old Car Can Be a Hassle

If you’re buying from a private seller, you’ll need to figure out what to do with your current vehicle. At 615 Auto Sales, we make it easy. Bring your car in for an instant cash offer, and you can apply the value toward your next purchase.


6. Title Issues Can Be Risky

Private sales can sometimes involve title issues that aren’t apparent upfront. Running a title check and ensuring everything is legitimate falls on you. At 615 Auto Sales, we guarantee clean titles, so you never have to worry about hidden problems.
