Many provide a multi-thousand mile warranty against defects. That provides a lot of comfort for those that fear the vehicle will fall apart once driven off the lot. Getting your car from a private party has a strong upside and a strong downside. The upside is that there is no middle man to raise the price. The downside is that you don't know the history of the car nor the honesty of the seller. Absolutely, if you are considering a specific car, get it inspected by a mechanic you trust. Probably the most conservative purchase would be from one of numerous national rental agencies. They are constantly turning over year to two year old and they are generally well maintained.
