It really depends on what you're looking for.
That said, I've owned a ton of cars over the years and only two came from dealers. Private party deals will get you more for you money the vast majority of the time as long as you (or a trusted friend) can thin the herd for cars that are quality and priced right. If you can't you might be better off spending more at a reputable dealer to ensure you're not getting some junk.

people's yards (you will know the cars are for sale because the cars will typically be in the vicinity of "for sale" signs, and you will know they are used because they are sitting in people's yards)

keep cash handy and when you see a car you like in the food lion parking lot you can wait next to it until the owner emerges from food lion with their groceries and you can offer to buy their car and you can mention that you'll even drop them off at home and help them carry their groceries
