The price will be higher. They take the blue book price and mark it up. If it was a lease return they will take the residual left on the car and add to it. Either way you will pay more for the car. The one advantage of dealer vs. private party is that if there is a problem with the car you can get it corrected/repaired while a private party is an "as is" deal. Few people will accept a car back if there is a problem, but with a dealer you have a contract that should have a clause concerning returns/repairs.

Is there any advantages to buying a car locally versus at a dealership?
Based on my personal experience, I believe a person shopping for a car should consider the dealership over the local dealer. The dealership has better resources, choices, and sales, therefore can take a smaller margin of profit. The dealership can offer greater incentives and rebate money. The local dealer may tell untruths and may have to mark up his vehicle prices to stay in business. He cannot offer as many options due to a limited inventory.
