If you do end up going to a dealership, never pay their asking price! The listing price for the used car I bought was $12,000, and I offered $8,800. They called me every day saying, "There's a lot of interest in the vehicle, it's going to sell soon, we can't take your offer as it sits." Two weeks later, I'm sitting in the car after paying $8,800. It's a matter of mind games for some of these people. Don't let desperation influence you!

@hughjass1044 3 жыл бұрын

Some more great tips I learned after buying and selling dozens of vehicles- 1) Be patient and start looking early. Don't take the first deal that comes along unless it's the "right" one. Don't wait until a buy is urgent and you're in a hurry. 2) Take another set of eyes with you. Even if it's a person who knows nothing about cars, you'll look like you know what you're doing and the seller is more liable to take you seriously. 3) Bring cash and don't be afraid to start low. Don't go too low or you'll turn the seller off but make a fair offer and stick to it. 4) At the same time, be prepared to pay a fair price for a good product. 5) Bring some business cards and tell the seller your offer stands and to give you a call if he changes his mind. Again, that shows him you're serious.

You missed one point. Buy a car they made a large number of. It drives the used prices down on better quality cars (for the price). They usually have more of the bugs worked out so they actually are more reliable. Finally there are more aftermarket parts and accessories available at lower costs. Car often used as fleet cars for taxis would often be in this category.

Remember, it doesnt matter the shortage, the dealer needs your money more than you need the car, since they have to pay taxes, dealership maintenance (light, rental etc.) to avoid bankruptcy. So if he says no to the offer go away, people that wait usually pays cheaper, people that is impatient pays more.

Rust is HELL. Stay away from rust and don't think "eh it's just a tiny spot".

My first car was a $300 1973 Chrysler Newport, affectionately known as ‘The Enterprise’.The interior had seen better days, and the rear quarters were rusty. But I dropped a $600 Alpine stereo into it (not surprisingly, my Dad questioned my logic on that particular decision), and felt like I had the coolest car in town. I had it for 4 years, and it was bulletproof. Other than regular maintenance, all I ever did was replace the front u-joints once, and the muffler, after a couple of years. She had the mighty 400 c.i. I flipped the lid on the air filter cover, so she just roared when I stepped on it. She passed everything but a gas station. I’ve had many cars since, but if I live to be a 100, it’ll always be my favourite.

That's how I got one of my pickups. This was years ago but a customer purchased a brand new pickup for about $13,000. He walked in the door one day where I worked and he said he needed to get rid of it due to his wife's pregnancy. He said he would sell it for what he owed. I got it for $8,200 with just 2,000 miles on it.

I just bought a 2000 Toyota Camry that's in ok condition... A neighbor bought it for his daughter until she made enough to buy her a nearly brand new car and I got the Camry for $500 had to clean it good inside and out, steering wheel cover, a couple of inner door handles, an electric window regulator and a battery... I found 4 really good used tires for $100 ... It has a little over 250,000 miles but it runs pretty good so far... It's probably my hundredth car in my life 🤣 and it's my first Toyota.. I've always wanted one 😁

COLLEGE STUDENT, ROOKIE MISTAKE: I am new to the US and bought a used car a month ago. I paid $2400 for a 2004 CAMRY with 220k miles on it and a cracked windshield. Weeks later I also discovered, it has an oil leak (not dripping), idling issue, noise from the engine area, and a few other issues.

I bought a $1500 winter beater last year with only 68k miles, all because it was a stick shift, and nobody else wanted it. The lady had it listed for $2800 initially, then down to $2200. I offered her $1500 and she accepted! She even told me she didn’t want the car and hated driving a manual transmission vehicle!

LMAO as a car dealer, my cars are marked up a few hundred dollars, maybe MAYBE $1,000-1,500 if I'm extremely lucky. The only used car dealers charging "two to five times what they paid for em" are the buy here pay here dealers. I get robbed at auto auctions, and new car stores only let go of their junk cars.
