i have always preferred to buy from private parties, my reasoning being that they will be less good at hiding things and lying.

but the worst lemon i ever bought was from a private party, so they can hide things too.

probably the only true lemon i have ever bought come to think of it. the 85 ford van with 6.9 diesel with cracked block.
