My Mobil 1 full synthetic is still $5 per quart when bought in the 5 quart jugs.
I will NEVER go to a quick lube place, EVER. They have messed up vehicles for years, put the wrong oil in, swindled people out of money, etc.
I will not go to the dealer either. I got shafted once there too. Pickup wouldn't run right, carb problems - variable venturi Ford. Service manager said it's a good carb, except when it's cold or dusty (when is it not cold or dusty in ND?). Said it would cost $500 to replace with something better. Didn't have that kind of cash so I said rebuild it. Cost $490 to rebuild!
Had a "reputable" shop flush a transmission for me once. Had a hole in the tranny cooler and got coolant in the trans. Asked if it would fully flush out the trans... "yes sir." Still didn't shift right afterwards, so I pulled the pan and found... coolant, lots of coolant. That was a $99 shafting.

Private party purchase will work fine for me, you're not any safer buying a used vehicle from a dealer.
