Buying Private VS Auction
Looking for a used SUV. Looking privately and reaching out to the sellers, most don't want to provide a pre-inspection report or option to have a mechanic looking at the vehicle prior to the sale. There are always people willing to buy so why should they.
Looking at buying at a Auction, they provide a Carfax report along with pretty decent details on if there is anything wrong with the vehicle.
In either situation, there is risk involved.
I don't really want to buy from a private seller that won't get a pre-inspection prior to the sale or at least letting a mechanic look at it.
Has anyone gone the car auction route instead of buying from a private seller?
