What are the benefits from....

buying a nearly new used 172 from Reno rather than private if all they do is charge you more? (i.e the only warranty given is that remaining of the original 3 year warranty which if i am correct transfers over to a new owner on a private sale anyway?)

It would seem so. None at all except they charge me 2k or so more.
