Go to Kbb.com and get the going price. Low ball and negotiate your way up to KBB price (but never above it).

MSNBC had a news story on where is the best places to buy used cars. The used car dealers were on the BOTTOM of the list. They are pros at negotiations (and you and I are rank amateurs), they are pros at hiding problems on their cars, etc.

The private sales (newspaper, etc.) were the best places. The seller will not tell you all the problems, but they don't know how to hide them.

And a private seller are at MOST they are equal in negotiation skills to you and me.

Just take your time, as good old used cars are cheap but hard to come by.

Good Luck...
