A lot of people will pay a premium to buy from trade, particularly a reputable dealer, as they have a reputation to withhold, and may also throw in a warranty, not to say that there aren't plenty of disreputable dealers out there, but a quick google normally shows them up. Buying privately you have to probably do more of your own due diligence, HPI etc. getting it checked over by a friendly mechanic.

Boring car buying question: Is there any reason that a private seller is preferable to a trade seller? or vice versa? (2nd hand, nothing exotic, cheap car type purchase)
And is Auto Trader generally the best option?
