The thing with stealerships is that their only motivation is to extract as much money from the buyer as possible. As a private seller, my motivation is to clear space in my garage. I know the history of the vehicle while I owned it. Ask me a question and I've got the answer. Ask a stealer a question, and they refer to a document that has words absolving them of liability.
I bought a car at a stealership too. It's the newest vehicle I own (2006). The salesman was an absolute scoundrel. Did the whole 4-square nonsense with me. Tried to extract an extra $100 from me at the last minute saying "it's only a hundred bucks, why let the deal fall through for only a hundred bucks", to which I replied "exactly".
They're loathsome scoundrels. Not all of them, just most, and most prominently.
Regular folk haven't practiced deception to an exact science like the stealership has. Querying them quickly reveals if they are being honest, or haven't practiced lying enough to be good at it.
