Private Party Value for This Car $11,295

Fair, I guess. I'd ask 10k and go from there. <shrug>

1.) Bring print-outs of all of the research / data you can find about the car. Including all of the different car-values you can find. This cuts the B.S. the car people will sling out you, because you are showing them you are informed / have done your homework.

2.) State a price you'll pay, and don't negociate.

3.) If not answered to what you want, walk away--and shoot out a parting phrase, "Autotrader.com, vehix.com, carpoint.com, etc. are only a click-away..."

Done. You'll either get a guy frantic to make a sale, get a guy who will "make you sweat over your decision" (he's thinking...) and call you back at home trying to negociate further, or you'll end up with the car you want at the price you want to pay.

Just need to stick to your guns and not try to make a life-long friend with the car dealer. They're there to make a buck, so you are the one who needs to be pleased.

Good luck.

I just plugged-in some numbers at KBB, so I couldn't tell you what your car is worth. <shrug> Don't shoot the messenger!

Last july I paid $9.5 for my 99 gt 5 spd, no leather or mach, it had 38k, and needed tires(excuse to get rims ). I'd offer 10-10.5k for that car.

When I traded my Tacoma for my 00' GT - They guy had some people offering him $13.5-$14k for it. But it had mods on it and new tires/wheels.

If you can get it for $10k that is a killer deal and don't pass it up!
