Purchasing a vehicle that is for sale by owner can be a scary deal. The history of the vehicle is unknown or can be altered by the person selling the vehicle. There could be needed or soon to be needed repairs that are not disclosed at the time of the sale, and there is not warranty available with a private sale.
