 TITLE: How to Buy a Used Car CONTENT: Negotiate the Price and Make a Deal\n-----------------------------------\nReady to start bargaining? It's much easier to haggle over the price of a used car than a new one, since there's no fixed MSRP. Use pricing from Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds' car appraisal tool to estimate the car's value. Simply input some basic information, such as the make, model, mileage and condition, to get an estimate. Subtract 10% to 20% from those prices and start by offering the seller that amount.\nIf you're already preapproved for a car loan or can pay in cash, use that as a bargaining chip. Did your mechanic find fixable problems with the car? Get an estimate of the repair costs and use that to bargain down the price of the car. END
