if you are buying a used car would you buy from dealer or from owner?

Definitely from a dealer. At least you can get some sort of guarantee for a couple of months if you're lucky...I bought a real "duzi" from a "friend" and it ended up costing me a lot more than I bargained for!

I feel that owner would be better as they owned the car and may be more honest and dealers more expensive but unsure what is your guys advice?

I would think that u can get a better deal from a owner, not a dealer

They both have their ups and downs.  I don't think one is any worse than another.  You have some owners that are dishonest and some dealers as well.

The few used cars I have bought from an owner have been alright.  My son's luck with buying cars from dealers has been less than stellar as all the used cars he has bought from dealers have been lemons.
