Straight From the Big Screen: Why a Car Dealership Trumps Private Owner Sales

When in search of a new vehicle, make a beeline to your nearest car dealership. A purchase from a private owner is not the ideal way to go. Truth in lending, full disclosure, and a drama-free experience is what you will get at a bonafide showroom. There are a million more reasons why buying from a car dealership is the only answer. For the sake of time, let's just talk about only a few.

1. It is not polite to ask a private owner to undergo a psychological evaluation.

Arnold "Arnie" Cunningham did not demand a psych eval from Roland D. LeBay during their cash transaction in "Christine." We were all horrified when we realized that Arnie's new ride, Christine, was possessed. You've seen the movie, right? Director John Carpenter depicted Stephen King's novel in great detail. Unlike what you'd expect from a high-quality car dealership, LeBay did not reveal some significant tidbits of information when he made the transfer. You definitely do not want the doors to lock on their own and your significant other almost succumb to suffocation. Nor do you want the radio to mysteriously play only songs from the 1950s.

2. An evil twin prototype will not show up in your driveway one day.

A showroom overflows with awesome modes of transportation. Although some may look similar, they are all unique. K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Two Thousand), the futuristic hot rod that Michael Knight from NBC's "Knight Rider" drove, had pieces that were disposed of when it was built. Some nefarious individuals reassembled those parts and created K.A.R.R. (Knight Automated Roving Robot), a dangerous, automated replica of K.I.T.T. The doppelganger was all about self-preservation and destroying everything in its path. Who wants that trouble? Or the constant need to repair of two vehicles that constantly fight?

3. You can avoid a horn that plays the first twelve notes of the song "Dixie" and other unwelcome surprises.

Everyone loves an extraordinary vehicle. But The General Lee from "The Dukes of Hazzard" clearly had frame and structural damage from all those jumps over locomotive trains. Not to mention the doors were welded shut, which forced Bo and Luke Duke to enter it through the windows. An automobile history check is provided at a car dealership to verify that you are not getting a "lemon."

4. You will not have to dodge your mother because she is falling in love with you.

When Marty McFly (played by Michael J. Fox) jumped in that fancy automobile in "Back to the Future" and was transported back in time, he thought it was pretty cool to meet his teenage mom. Until she fell for him because she had no idea that he was her son from the future. That has awkward written all over it, regardless of the time frame. Showrooms have classics, but fortunately, they don't usually have ones with time circuits installed.

Movie cars purchased from private sellers may have a tendency to include a host of surprises for their new owners, but every trope is born from a grain of truth. To avoid nasty surprises - from possessed vehicles to time warps - it's best to make sure you know what you're getting into by soliciting the help of experts from a car dealership.
