A private owner can give you repair bills and tell you about the car's history---if he's honest.
With a dealership, you have no idea where that Corvette's been.

Just remember that the cars you will be looking at are used cars and they will not be perfect. That's fine, you're just gonna drive the hell out of it anyway!
