<human>:  How do I safely purchase a car from a private seller?
<bot>: The best way to safely purchase a car from a private seller is to do your research. Make sure you know the history of the car, including any accidents or recalls, as well as the seller’s identity and contact information. You should also take the car for a test drive and get a pre-purchase inspection to help assess the car’s condition. Finally, make sure to have a written contract outlining the terms of the sale before you make any payments.
