Private Sale

Buying a car privately from a member of the public rather than a dealer. Buying a car privately usually makes better financial sense than going through a member of the motor trade, but consumers do not have the same level of legal protection should anything go wrong. Selling a car privately generally realises more money than part-exchange, but there can be a lot of work and hassles involved.
