Hi,

Is there any difference between these two sentences:

I will sell you my car.
I will sell my car to you.

Is it the same in terms of meaning?

Thanks.

There are obvious differences between the two sentences, but they mean the same thing.
 
To expand on Tarheel's post: "...sell you my car" (not to anyone else). "...sell my car...".(not my boat). Stress and context can make a difference.
