  • A few bad apples have given the larger pool of used car dealers a bad reputation. As a result, many used car buyers would rather work with an individual.
  • Don't worry about what you can't offer that a dealer can (for example, a warranty). Concentrate on any perceived advantages customers may associate with buying from an individual.
