Private seller kung kilala mo yung tao and the history of the car.
Used car dealer kung reputable shop ant maganda talaga ang history nila (pero mahirap yata yun hehehe)

It all boils down pa din kung gaano kaganda at kasariwa ang unit na bibilin mo. At smooth lahat ng papeles, hanggang saan ang kaya ibigay na tawad sayo. Mapa private man o used car dealer yan. Hindi naman ang seller ang bibilin mo eh. Yung kotse. Wag magmadali sa pagbili. Alam mo dapat ang bibilin mo. Pareho mo lang naman sila babayaran. So walang advantage and disadvantage. Pareho lang silang seller.

No bearing. Depende yan sa estado nung unit na kukunin mo.

Lalo na kung as is where is basis ang bentahan.

Bring a car expert para ma-inspect properly. Sugal ang pagbili ng 2nd hand.

Basta wag umasa sa odometer, narereset yan and ang dali lang magreprogram nyan.

Yup wag papasilaw sa low mileage.

Pero dito lamang yung kakilala mo yung private seller and lagi mo nakikita yung oto na bibilhin mo.

Kapag nakita mo na nag average sa 10k per year ang takbo, yan yun usual na mileage, below that is either laging natatraffic or talagang bihira gamitin, pero ganun pa man, hingan mo ng casa records or yung maintenance booklet, kapag wala naibigay, reset yan malamang.

Check mo rin yung pedals, manibela ang shift knob, kapag di orig or gastado na, malaki probability na umaapaw sa 100k ang orig mileage nyan.

Sa pagkadami dami ko ng nireset na digital odo, kapag ako bumibili di na ako tumitingin sa odometer hehehe... Maintenance booklet ang hinihingi ko and kung di pa naretouch pintura. Mas madali magpa overhaul kaysa body repair, mas mura pa.

Best to buy direct from the owner of the vehicle. Patience is the key. Used car salesman will almost always reverse the odometer. Have yet to meet an honest one.
