The best place to buy a used car is from its owner, because private sellers seldom get the true value of their car. Because people are afraid to buy privately. Most big car sales lots have a “buyer” his job is to buy cars advertised on websites like Donedeal, Carzone, Carsireland and so on.

As an example he buys a car for €5000 privately. It goes to the work shop, gets serviced, valeted and put on the fourcourt and someone buys it for 13k thinking he’s getting a better car that the one for €5000. Private buyers can take out a warranty plan for €300, so, for €5000 plus €300 plus €90 for a valet and €200 for a service you could save yourself €7410 euro on a family car.
