Negotiation Tips for Used Car

Never express any disappointment or any fury in any kind. Especially never seem too interested. Just learn to play it with deadpan and accurate. Below given are few examples of the conversation you might have to come across.

1) If the salesman asks you to see the car and then have a talk on the price then you must carry on talking and attempt to make the salesman quote a cost. This way you could see if the salesman is strong-minded about the value of the car or not.

2) In case the salesman states that the price is not to be discussed or is somewhat flexible. You should make him realize that you are a serious buyer and does not desire to waste the salesman’s time in addition to his time. Further you must stress that you are interested in little lesser price and this would offer a thought on how negotiable the salesman is.

3) If you feel that the used car is apt for you, but the value is little high, then you could leave your contact number with the salesman, requesting him to contact you back in case the seller lessens the price.


Other things that you should look into before going to the dealership is to read reviews, consumer reports, ask colleagues and friends, compare options, gather gas consumption data on the make and model you're interested in. Then you should check a car's history records. This will help you to eliminate half of the vehicles from your list with potential problems.

Take your time going over the paperwork. For example, if you buy from a private owner, make sure there are no registered liens against the vehicle and that the person who signs the Bill of Sale is the actual owner of the car. Check with the Vehicle Registration Authorities to make sure the car has not been stolen. Take these steps, and you may find a salesman that is flexible enough to work within your budget and get you driving home in the paintless dent car that you’re interested in.
