Do used car dealerships negotiate prices?
The short answer: yes but it depends. You have to know how to negotiate used car prices, know what to research and understand exactly how much the listed price is negotiable. There are a multitude of other considerations as well. You have to find out: does the dealership have a non-negotiable, one-low-price policy? The price matches market value one of the best signs of a good used car deal is fair pricing. If the price is too high, you may be overpaying. If it’s too low, there could be hidden issues. Knowing the market value helps you spot a fair deal on an armada, pathfinder, or sentra.
Should I buy a used car from a dealer or owner?
It depends on how much money you are paying for the car. If you are paying a lot for your car, a dealership will provide you with a warranty which a private seller cannot do. Be sure to look at repair deductibles, and the process for getting a claim approved. Despite any pressure they may apply, you don’t have to buy an extended warranty at the same time you buy the car. You also don’t have to purchase an extended car warranty from the dealership, unless it’s the brand’s own program.
