The owner may be able to show you all the maintenance history, and you can get a feel about how they treated the car, problems it may have had.at least from a dealer you have some protections, but from a private owner, let the buyer beware

My mechanic friend suggested that no matter where you go there will always be some kind of issue and never purchase a car without having a mechanic check it out first.I agree totally with Love2Talk - give her the 10 pts.
