Found a MB E-430 2000 with only 100,000 miles. initial price is only $ 8900. The beautiful car, clean and drives like new. KBB trade in price is $ 10,000. What are some tips to carry $ 7,900 or even possible, given that it is so low? Someone told me I could write a check for $ 7900 and say that’s all what they can afford and that could work. Is this true?

I am particularly interested in the Nissan Maxima and Sentra or Honda Civic or Accord.

I’ve had about 10 people came to see my car and at least seven of them have asked me what my lowest price is. . . this seems like a very poor negotiating tactic and every time it has happened, I responded, asking them to do just one offer. Then just walk away muttering something about “I have to think about it …” Any advice? Thanks!

The list price on the vehicle is 21,500. I pay no more than 17 800. . . How I can make this happen? I need advice! and help! thanks!

I want the price to no more than mid-20s but used doesn’t matter. . I’m looking for in a sports car every day is a sportster true, but still has the new features.

I heard that they do not speak with a certain person because he receives a percentage of the sale, but when you talk to other sellers who will give you a better deal. How many people can talk to you, to negotiate the price of the car?

I know that car dealers need to make a profit and all, but what is the standard amount that should be on the invoice price. . . . . or if they even allow them to pass the invoice price?? I do not want to be a hose when I buy my next car

I am going to go to a car dealership that sells certified used Hondas and Toyotas. I have $2000.00 to put as a down payment and I am shooting for a car that is about $12000.00 but I’m fairly flexible. I have never purchased a car on my own and my credit is young/kind of iffy. A few things:

1) Will I be taken seriously when trying to finance a vehicle if my credit isn’t that great but I have a down-payment of $2000.00 and a decent job (I make about $1800.00 a month and have low expenses)?

2) What sorts of cars should I look for, ie what years, mileage, models?

3) What questions should I ask?

4) What is insurance like for a 21 y.o. female with a fairly brief driving history, iffy credit, and a later model (I’m thinking 2003 and newer?) car?

Especially with luxury cars like Acura, which are harder to get below or at invoice or near invoice price? And also getting the best price when there is only one dealer in your area and the near dealer are at least 75 miles away. So I don’t have lots of competition in the area to make the dealers get a lower price. I’m interested in the 2006 Acura TL. Are there any sites where you can get some information for free or you have to pay for the best possible ways? Please leave an email and I thank you for your answers and help.

I am looking at a 2007 new car with 9,000 miles on it that was used as a rental for the dealership. A track car, they say.

List price was $21,999. I inquired seriously about it and asked about wiggle room, and the salesperson said, “we can let it go for $20,500.”

How should I regard this? Would it be outrageous to counter with something lower than his last offer? If so, how much lower. On edmunds, they have trade-in value at $17,500, private party at $19,000, and retail at $20,500. Would it be ridiculous to counter with $17,500 (probably what they paid) and target $19,000 as a final sale price (which would be perfect for us). Or would they find such an offer insulting.
