I agree to a certain extent. I wouldn't put it past private sellers to lie through their teeth though. Some people are very good at lying already. Private sellers don't have a reputation to keep either. Not that dealerships are great about trying to maintain a good reputation, but some do try more than others.

Maybe it's not the technology that's unreliable but the system for buying it.

Is there a "how to buy a car" thread? We could use two, one for used cars (not just ones for $1,500 or less) and one for new cars. After all, that might be the best way to save money right there.
