Are You Better Off Buying from Our Nissan Dealership or a Private Party?

If you’re going to shop for a vehicle, we invite you to visit our Nissan dealership. When they arrive, some drivers breathe a sigh of relief over bypassing a transaction with a private seller. In most cases, motorists are better off purchasing an automobile from Zeigler Nissan of Gurnee instead of a third party for several significant reasons.

Variety

Private sellers normally have just one vehicle for sale, which means you won’t have any options available if the original car you were interested in isn’t what you hoped it would be. Whether you shop with our Lindenhurst, IL Nissan dealership in person or online, you’ll have all the latest Nissan models to choose from. Of course, you can also buy one of the pre-owned vehicles on our lot.

Peace of Mind

You can feel confident when you purchase a previously owned car from our Nissan dealership because every pre-owned vehicle on our lot has been inspected by a factory-trained, certified technician. Every one of our previously owned cars has also been reconditioned and, if necessary, repaired. By comparison, there’s no way to know how or if a private seller prepared their car for a sale.

Being Nissan dealers, we’re bound by strict federal and state laws that govern the way we conduct business. Private parties don’t have to abide by the same mandates, which makes dealing with them inherently riskier.

Sales Tax

Do you have a vehicle to trade in? When you trade in a car at our location, you’ll only pay sales tax on the difference between the amount you get for your existing car and the price of the automobile you purchase. If you buy a vehicle from a private party, you’ll owe sales tax on the car’s full price in most states, which can be thousands more.

Administrative Tasks

Our team will handle all the paperwork involved with purchasing a vehicle for you. If you buy from a third party, all that paperwork will fall on your shoulders, and you may end up spending hours at the DMV as a result. Things can get even trickier if the seller has an outstanding loan on their automobile.

Finance at Zeigler Nissan of Gurnee

It’s unlikely that a private party will finance the vehicle you want to buy. Luckily, you can count on the experts in our Nissan finance center to help you secure an auto loan for any model on our lot. Apply for Nissan financing for a new or new-to-you car now.
