How can I save money buying a used car?

Question:
I already know which car I want to buy - it's a 2006 Rav4. There is some mild staining in the back seats, and it has 15,000 miles. This would be my first car, and I don't know how to bargain with the salesman/dealership to get the best price... any tips?

i own a shop ,and where you save the good money at is someone else already payed all the big sales tax on it,and they suffered the depreciation on it,so the price of a used one comes down a lot in the first 3 years,so you can save several thousand real easy,and still get a low mileage vehicle ,but there's some really good deals on used ones right now,dealers are more interested in selling new ones not used ones,there's more profit in a new one for them than a used one,the one your looking at sounds like a real good deal ,just have it checked out really good before you buy it,good luck on it i hope this helps.

First thing. NEVER, NEVER, EVER negotiate the purchase of a vehicle based on monthly payments. It would take a lot of space to explain all the ways a dealer can hide extra money, please take my word for it on this.

How much does a car dealer make a year ?

Go to your bank and they will give you the loan value of the vehicle and based on that what your payments will be. Then negotiate the price based on cash and an "out-the-door" price. Going in, you will know what you are going to pay and how much per month it is going to cost you. Good luck - Gary
