When it comes to buying a car, you have a few different options. For example, you could purchase a used car from private sellers, independently owned auto shops, or car dealerships. Each option will have its own advantages and disadvantages. Here are the three advantages of purchasing a car from a car dealership over the other options:

More Options: 

When it comes to purchasing a car from a car dealership, you will have more purchasing and add-on options. For example, many car dealerships will have both new and used cars for you to look at, which is especially great if you are on a tight budget. You can find a similar car to the one that you wanted new, but in used condition for a much lesser cost. You will also be able to add on a warranty to the car that your purchase and some dealerships may even offer some free services, such as oil changes. 

Better Reputation: 

When it comes to purchasing from a certified dealership, you can be sure that their reputation is one that you can find just by one simple search online. Finding great reviews from independent shops may be more difficult and finding reviews on a private seller may even be impossible if that seller has never actually sold a car in the past. When you go to a certified dealership, you can be sure that you are dealing with a place of business that many other previous customers have in the past. On top of this, customer service is important to dealerships, so they will help you should something go wrong with the car after you purchase it, whereas with a private seller, you are on your own after the purchase in most cases. 

Financing:

Financing a new vehicle is probably something that you want to consider if you cannot afford to pay for a new car all at once. If this is the case, you have many options. For example, you can try and receive financing from your bank. However, when you visit a car dealership, you can finance your vehicle through them as well. You can deal with both the financing and the purchase of the vehicle all in one place instead of having to go back and forth between the dealer and the lender's office. Car dealerships also want to ensure that you get the best financing possible and definitely walk out of their with a new car that you can afford. 

By knowing some of the advantages of purchasing a car through a dealership, you can better understand why it may just be the most convenient option for you.
