NP. You can buy used toyotas with low mileage all day from private parties and save around 4-5k.[/quote]

Hmmm, you'd have to show your work. Post some examples and we'll see. I am sure you can find the odd private party seller that doesn't know what their car is worth, but in the modern day, it's pretty easy to find the private party value of a car. I typically sell off my cars on Craigslist if it is in good condition and it's always pretty easy to get top dollar for a gently used 2-3 year old Honda or Toyota. [/quote]

Yes, and a lot of private party sellers may still have a loan on the car and are pricing to pay that off and can't take a hit on price.  We were looking at used recently, and most private party sales were in line with or above the please-get-this-off-the-lot prices at the dealership.  Not to mention, private party sales can be more of a hassle and, god forbid something goes wrong, you're pretty much on your own.  It's also a total hassle from the seller side, and last time we sold a used vehicle, Carmax, of all places, gave us more than private sale would have.[/quote]
