Used car negotiating?

Question

So, I'm looking at a used car that is listed at 39.5k. I am preparing an offer and I am trying to do it in cash with no financing but I have to also remember tax/ title/license. What is a reasonable offer? Does anyone have an expert opinion in today's market?

Answer 1

The absolute best way to negotiate the best price is to e-mail the closest dealers in your area. Ask for the manager. Give them all the information, regarding vehicle type and option package. Let them bid for your business. When you get the lowest quote, call up the manager at that dealership and ask if he will put it in writing. Then ask him if there is any more "room" on the price. That should net you the best price.
