Both are only paid if you actually purchase.

The difference is the private seller wants to sell you one car, the Salesman wants to make you a customer.
My Father-in-law was a car salesman most of his adult life. He treated everyone that came in the same. Spent time with them, explained the cars, took them on multiple test drives. Maybe 1 in 5 probably bought a car, but those that did came back to him again and again, even when he changed dealerships and even brands.
When he moved from Florida to Georgia there were customers in FL that came to Georgia just to do a deal with him.
A good salesman would never think a test drive was a waste of time, even when they can tell you aren't buying today. There is always tomorrow.
