Buying a Used Car: Dealer or Private Seller?

Our advice? Buy from those you trust

Why You Should Buy Used from a Dealership in El Dorado, AR

On a budget? Need something that won’t cost you an arm and a leg to drive? Sometimes the best option is a used car, truck, SUV or hybrid . After all, many used cars have exceptional quality, few miles and a lower price tag, making them the optimal choice for buyers. But which avenue should you take: dealer or private seller? Clearly, here at Karl Malone Chevrolet, we have the strong opinion that buying your used car from the dealer is the better choice. We'd be happy to answer this question in person, but go ahead and read up on why we think you should buy your next used vehicle upgrade from our dealership!

Warranties and Promotions

You might be under the impression that you can get a better deal buying from a private seller. Our thoughts? Those wildcard prices are the exception, not the rule. When you purchase your vehicle upgrade from us at Karl Malone Chevrolet, you'll enjoy savings with our used car specials, and once it's ready for a service appointment , our service center can handle its maintenance while our service offers can lower your total invoice. Plus, many of our used vehicles still have their original warranty (including documents with proof of coverage), and we provide an option to add an extended warranty at purchase!

Earned Reputation

Another perk of buying from a dealership is their earned reputation. We currently have an overall 4.3-star rating from our Google reviews, which speaks to our customer service, professionalism and problem solving. You won't really know what you're getting when you choose a private seller to do business with — are they reliable? Safe? Helpful? Our team is always willing to answer questions and help you through the entire car-buying process from start to finish. We're not sure that a private seller will devote a similar amount of time as we do.

Financing Options

How many financing options will a private seller offer you? Online payment services, like Venmo, Cash App and PayPal, are helpful, but most will feel more comfortable with the full amount in cash. Karl Malone Chevrolet will also accept cash, but we also offer used car financing, which gives you even more flexibility when it comes to payments. Build your credit by paying every month on your used car to a business you can trust!
