Re: Advice for haggling on a used car?
Private sellers will usually give you a better deal than the dealers will. However, if you're looking to get something newer, try to get a certified used car. They usually add a hell of alot to the warranty. Ex, I was looking at an '05 Mazda 6... Mazda's standard warranty was 3years, 36,000 miles. Because it was certified, I would have got the remainder of the factory warranty, then up to 5 year 50,000 bumper to bumper, and then when that expired up to 10 years 100,000 powertrain.
If it's an older car, make sure you get atleast some sort of warranty from the dealer, even if its only 3 months 3,000 miles. If you're buyin from a private seller, make sure you take it to a mechanic you trust and have him thouroughly check it out.
