Distance
Distances are based on a straight line and should be used as a rough guide only.
Private sellers are individual sellers who are likely to be selling their own vehicle. The benefit with buying privately is that you can often get a better price than you would if you bought from a dealer. However, there is very little comeback if things should go wrong.
Trade advertisers are individuals or organisations who sell vehicles with the view to make a profit. As traders, they have to adhere to more stringent laws and you will have greater rights should something go wrong. This means that you will usually pay more than from a private individual.
