Is it better to buy a used car from a private seller or

A private dealership.

Depends. Car Dealership if you need help with financing. Private Seller if you know what you want and have the money for it at that time.

Private sales offer better prices, dealer sales offer better legal protection, at least where I live.

If it's older than 10 years, I would go through a private seller. If not, the dealer.

What part of "at least were I live" don't you understand? Dealers are responsible for selling you a car that's fundamentally sound and have a one to two years long defects liability on non-wear parts depending on the severity of the issue. You buy a used car from a dealer here and he'll have to cover the repairs if it completely grenades a week later.
