1. When ever negotiating, keep in mind it's not always regarding price. Try for road tax, warranties, as well as full tank of fuel or set of carpet mats
2. When you are buying and selling, perform quite a few analysis about costs, but keep in mind you will not get what it is on the forecourt for. There needs to be a mark up, and also you are not responsible just like a dealer is for mechanical problems. Use Kelly Blue Book, keep in mind that it's a guide, not a bible.
3. If you do not feel comfortable negotiating costs or checking used vehicles for mechanical issues, consider using a car buying service.
4. Never purchase a vehicle that is being advertised as using a new coat of paint. It may have been in an accident.
5. If you are purchasing a vehicle from a private seller, check to be sure any associated lien on the vehicle has been paid off by the seller.
