The level of car tax you pay is based on engine size? So what engine size is a 'gaz guzzler'?

Check the Kelley Blue Book for wholesale and retail prices. Offer the average between the two. If the seller balks at that, offer closer to retail but make a deal on the fees and tax. Do not, under any circumstances, pay retail. The dealer probably took the vehicle on trade for substantially less than wholesale.

What do car companies mean when they call a vehicle a "crossover"?

i would offer wholesale see what they say dont go more than retail all fees included

If you get the $$numbers$$ from nada.com, you will see that the same car will be valued a little differently (ie: lower). Use that source as a bargaining tool instead.

I lost my car this Saturday, now I dont know to do. Please help?

You'll find three values in the Blue Book: 1)The price a dealer would pay on trade-in, 2)the price usually charged by private parties, and 3)the price a dealer charges IF the car is in PERFECT condition. That also implies a guarantee of some sort - what are you being offered - 30 days?

Where can I find out how much a used car is worth.?


I'll bet your car is not perfect - probably the tires are a bit worn, there are a few minor dings which you can find if you look for them, etc. Find all this stuff and offer to pay the full asking price IF all these things are made like new.

Is it better to buy a car from a Dealer or Private Owner?


Otherwise, don't pay any more than the price usually charged by private parties, or the dealer's asking price less your estimate of what it would cost to make everything new again (whichever is lower).
