I'm looking for a cheap and cheerful Skoda Fabia 1.2 for my 17 year old son , I was hoping to get a nice deal from a private seller but just about every car is on a garage forecourt. PH has no private sale ads and Autotrader has 47 trade ads within 100 miles and 2 private.

I assume there is a lively market in Fabias due to the good fuel consumption and cheap insurance but where do the dealers get their cars from ? Is it all through auctions ?

Why not just buy from a dealer then?

Beacause this is a cheap car and at this end of the market there would normally be better deals to be done with a private seller. Im not adverse to buying from a dealer, I would just prefer a private sale.

ETA: My experiences in the past of dealers selling lots of cheap stock havent been the best
