<prompt> Human: Just wondering, it seems like Craigslist has a pretty bad reputation. But then, Ive heard other people saying that dealerships are also known for overcharging on their carsSo Im sure this has been asked a million times, but what is the best way to buy a car? Dealership or Craigslist?or other, that I dont know about?  <response>: If you buy from a person off Craigslist pay the extra 100 to have the car inspected by a mechanic BEFORE you purchase. Its an as-is sale so unless the person specifically lies about something hard to prove, theres no warranty. Find out whats wrong before you get it. 15 cases on The Peoples Court deals with this.
