When you are about to go for that local car for sale in the form of that Ford used car, you must remember to equip yourself with all the relevant information associated with the model you have in mind along with other technical specifications, the fuel efficiency you can expect, the insurance and other maintenance costs you would be required to pay and other such heads of expenses, that is ignored can easily burn a big hole in your pocket and quickly nullify the advantage you sought to gain by going in for a used car. So go prepared with the right questions and do not feel awkward to ask them.
You should also keep in mind that a private owner desiring to put up that local car for sale does not have overheads that he has to cater to and should therefore be able to sell the car at a rate that should be much lesser than what can be found at a dealer showroom. Dealers have collateral expenses in the form of rent, salary payments and other overhead expenses which they would build into the price and that invariably pushes up the cost of the used car.
