First, know what it's worth...go to kbb.com that's the kelley blue book site and find out what it books for.
Second, find faults in the car. Is there alot of dents rust, high mileage, does something not work, how is the interior?...etc.
Third, always assume the seller will go down $500.00 to make the sell.
Fourth, does the vehicle have a clean title history...is it a water damaged vehicle, is it a wrecked title, being has the car been totaled and been rebuilt?
***If the seller won't go down to your price still try to make a bargain w/him/her and make a inbetween offer. Lower than the asking price but between your offer and the seller's price.***

I would be as prepared as possible with book value information from kbb.com and carfax information from carfex.com. Also print ads from other sellers for the same or similar vehicles. The truth is, the seller could be giving you a good deal. If so, just take it. If it were your car, you'd want to get a fair price too. If the car is truly overpriced, you have tools available to prove that to the seller and use it as leverage to negotiate a better deal. Good luck.

Tell them that $3800 or so is all you can manage. If that's about what the car is really worth, you'll probably be fine. If he's trying to rip you off, you need to walk away anyway. It all depends on how much you want the vehicle - and how easy it is to find another one if this deal falls through. If you do walk away, ask him to consider your offer overnight, and leave your name and phone number with him - there's a good chance he'll call. And if he doesn't, then he's found another sucker, and you wouldn't have gotten the car for your price, anyway.

Bring up any repairs that may be needed, how are the tires, mileage, is it high, overall condition, any leaks/rust. Has it been totalled by an insuance company, is this a rebuilt vehicle. Anyone purchasing a car should ask that, whether it's a used car dealer, or a private sale. You can get the blue book value of a car online, you can also get free info from your state's licensing agency, don't pay Carfax, get it free.

Have your $3800 in cash and lay it out infront of the seller and let him smell it. No seriously having folding money is a deal clincher.

You make your best offer and be prepared t walk if the guy doesn't want to talk. I don't think that is a bad offer , another tactic that would work is that you are prepared to pay immediately, no screwing around in that department.

print out a sheet from kbb.com,and nada if it is around the price you wanna pay, and take it to them with your offer, or
offer them less than willing to pay, and let them negotiate with you
