Default Re: Buying my first car, help needed

Oh, that above was for new cars, used cars you can generally negotiate 10% off the advertised price. When then ask for your offer, give them 5% below the low dealer Blue Book value but expect to pay low dealer Blue Book unless another deal has equivalent used car somewhere else advertised cheaper.

Play the dealerships off against each other in that case. Be prepared to walk off and say the other deal called or something. You can call around several dealers and say what cars your interested in and negotiate by phone which can be less stressful but expect a hard negotiation with the finance person as they will try and recoup costs there.
