if you want purchase one from used car dealership.

4. Toyota of North Charlotte has listed out the pros and cons for you, so hopefully
we can make your decision a little easier!
There are a couple pros to buying a used vehicle from a private seller.
 You can probably get a lower price for a pre-owned vehicle. There are
dealer fees or other certain fees that are added to the price.
 The opportunity to negotiate is there. Depending on the seller, you can
haggle your price lower.
Purchasing a pre-owned car from a private buyer can be time consuming and
stressful.
 Searching for a car being sold privately requires a lot of time. Looking for
ads for cars that fit your needs can take days or weeks and then you must
schedule a time to meet with a seller and go test drive the car.
 Purchasing a pre-owned car privately means the car doesn’t come with any
guarantees or warranties. If something breaks or malfunctions on the car,
costs of repairs come directly out of your pocket.
 When purchasing the car, you are responsible for taking care of all the
paperwork! Transferring tag and titles as well as figuring out how to finance
your purchase. Talk about stressful!
Purchasing a car from a used car dealership has a few cons, but many pros.

5.  Our friendly Charlotte sales and Toyota finance specialists are happy to

The cons to buying from a dealership are:
 Dealer fees. There are certain fees and costs that dealerships have to
charge which can raise the price of a vehicle a little.
 Little room to negotiate. Dealerships have invested a certain amount of
money into a used car to sell it, so there is not a lot of wiggle room when it
comes to a selling price.
