Going to look at a private seller's car

Having called some private sellers on the phone and asked the right questions, youve narrowed down the potential autos that you might want to look at. Hopefully you got the addresses and directions correct, and youre going to check out a car that is being sold by an individual. Once you arrive, there are a few things that will help you to make a decision as to whether to actually buy it or not.

Unlike the standard used car lot, most of the people that you deal with will not be your average car salesman, and many of them will be much easier to deal with. Keep in mind that there are some people who run their own little side business, buying older used cars and fixing them up to sell and make a profit. Should you run into one of these, it will usually be pretty obvious. They will have several cars sitting around in various states of repair, some with signs on them to indicate the asking price and others might even be on blocks. Be wary of these, many times they are as shady as the used car lot dealers, the only reason they do it like this is to avoid getting a business license and renting or buying a lot. It is possible that you will get a good deal from them, just dont count on it. If you suspect that you have found one of these, be especially careful.
