[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My FIL sold used cars for a while. His sale price flexibility would depend 100% on what he paid for it. So if he got a good deal, so could you. He also lives by the motto that if your first offer isn’t offensive to the seller you’ve offered too much. So start really low and see what happens.

What’s the cheapest you can find a similar car for?  Start there. Maybe $24 ish?[/quote]

I sold a car on Craigslist for $1,500 after a dealership offered me $75 for a trade in.  I was offended and they didn't care or raise the price.  It was so low I could have sold the tires off and got more.[/quote]

I had a similar thing with dealer v CarMax.  Dealer offer me $!00 (low mileage old car which ran fine)  Carmax gave me 1000.  Clearly the dealer just did not want it and the low amount was his way of telling me.  I was buying a used car too so that probably gave him a lower profit margin to play with.[/quote]

My understanding is that used cars have a higher profit margin.[/quote]
