Whichever is good.
Each has advantages - dealer has warranty, private a bit cheaper.

If this is your first time and you have no technical friend to bring along a dealer could be the way to go this time.

Private can have a warranty balance too for newer cars.

private sales. Generally you can get a good deal but make sure You go to the sellers home or such to prove who he isand theres no real issue

Dealers- offer good deals and such but are a pain when the car breaks and Will rip you offwhen they can regardless
