Im going to see a 2004 Chrysler Crossfire (15,000 miles) this week. I am wondering if this price can be negotiable and if so what would you neg. it for?

To date I have purchased 12 cars. A dealer that won't negotiate is trying to play you against your interest in the car. All cars are subject to a minimum $3000+ markup from their trade in cost. Sometimes this markup may be in excess of $10,000 depending on where the dealer got the car. (Auction, trade in, lease return, etc.) Car leases are heinous cash cows for dealerships. Depending on fair market value of the car, there is usually a $1500-$3000 latitude for negotiation.
Remember: Never love a car. There will ALWAYS be another one. No car is perfect, or unique. Don't let a dealer convince you otherwise. If they get the sense you aren't hooked, they will negotiate. They know they can still make a profit with a reduced price.
Like the other poster said, look for similar cars in your area, and plan to make more than one stop. Read up on the car, and its market value. Be informed.

I just received some information from Consumer Reports. They are offering a new service that gives you all of the information that you need about the auto that you are interested in before you go in to negotiate. It includes all the information that is not usually available to the public. It's probably worth looking into if you are looking to purchase an auto. I think it's a 12 or 14 dollar fee.

Without knowing the asking price, I would most likely offer somewhere around $ 3000. less and then after negotiations most likely end up meeting seller in the middle.
If you go to my website http://www.usedcartips.org/ you will find 2 links " How You negotiate " and " How Dealer Negotiate " study both these links it could save you being taken to the cleaners, if something is not clear feel free to contact me through the website before you go on your journey.

If a brand new Harley is 7 then the used on for eleven isn't the equal motorbike. You can negotiate fees however a trader will upload matters like prep expenses and different stuff. KBB is most effective predicted values.

God yes, especially on the CrossFire.
Do you know the history of the CrossFire? It's almost like a "kit-car" the way it's put together.

Dealers have a very hard time selling them.
I would advise against buying one as there are much better options out there.

Research used car prices and availability in your area. Go in armed with all the information in a folder. This scares the salespeople as they *hate* consumers who's educated and can't be fooled. If they say it's not negotiable, show them alternatives elsewhere that you *could* go now. If they don't budge, leave.
