I bought mine at a dealer and was able to knock $6k off the asking price which then ended up being lower than any price I could bargain through a private party with comparable miles/options. Make sure you bargain with the out the door price and ask them to break down all of the fees, taxes, etc.

From my experience, every private party seller that I went to loved their cars so they would try to up-sell me, tell me their cars were unicorns, and would barely budge on price. That's definitely not the case for everyone though because I hear stories of people going through private parties and getting great deals.

Theres no tax savings, but you might be able to save from a private party by avoiding dealership fees.

I would suggest thinking of all the options/miles you want, set a no-higher-than price in your mind and bargain in-person after the test drive and PPI.
