Buying a car is a big decision. Explain what protections a buyer would receive when purchasing from a dealer. A private seller? Which one is legally safer, and why?

There could be some advantages and disadvantages associated in buying the car from a dealer or a private seller.

Buying a car from dealer involves more legal regulations. From documentations to the transfers, everything is legally protected. But the disadvantage of buying from dealer is a higher price that the buyer has to pay.

On the contrary, buying car from a private seller might not include all the legal formalities, like the check against any theft, or other legal protections. But the advantage of buying from a private seller is somewhat lower price that the buyer will pay.

So buying from a dealer is legally safe.
