What advantages do used car dealers have when they sell a car as owner?

    Why would a used car dealer or anyone that sells multiple cars hide the fact that they have other cars for sale? Most of the ads of cars for sale are too good to be true and I stay away from them but what do they hide by showing they are for sale by owner?

    I have used Craig's List to find a used car and some deals are too good to be true and I hate to see young folks buy these reconditioned cars that CARFAX can't list because of the laws in 29 of the 50 states not making it mandatory to list wrecked or totaled cars.

    Thanks!

    They can't be sued on a professional level, and they keep their license?

    Alot of them don't have a dealer's license. I think the term is called "Curbstoning". Posing as a private seller.
