Whenever you buy a used car, regardless of whether it is from a dealership or private seller, then there are a couple of things that you need to consider so that you don't end up buying a car that you might not get to own.

Firstly any used car runs the risk of being stolen and should you buy it then you still won't be the proper owner. This means that if it is later discovered that the car is stolen then you will lose it and the money you have spent on it.
