Pm sent, thanks.

 

If you are able to talk a dealer down more than $1500 on a pre-owned vehicle, be very very careful. They are either stole it as a trade-in or they bought it for cheap because it had issues...or both. Not to say there aren't good deals out there, but cover your bases. Working with a name brand dealership is good too, because they want to preserve their name and junk usually doesn't make it to the front line. (I work at a BMW dealership.)

 

It's got a rebuilt title and a cracked block, what problems do you think they will hide?

 

I know they replaced the soft top there. The car is leaking oil due to the cracked block, But I was told its a gasket.
They said they didnt want to put any more money into it. Also, Now having troubles finding the actual title status of the car. Autocheck shows clean title with 5 owners. superstuddc27 looked it up, clean title with 3 owners. Dealership bring up rebuilt. wtf?????

 

I wouldn't give them more than 3K at best. I paid 9k for MY01 with 98k miles on it, and I should have tried to work them down more.

 

If I buy from a dealer, I ask about financing(they make a ton of money on finance) then I talk them down on price(remember they make a shit load on financing) then talk to them about a extended warranty(they make even more money with this) and when I get my price. I ask them if there is a penalty if I pay it off early. Then after I buy the car I cancel the extended warranty(have three days to do this) and boy do they get mad(lots of lost money for them) then I go and pay off the car. Either by getting a better rate at my bank or just by giving them cash. I've bought two cars and a truck this way and I saved a lot of money by doing this but it takes time and effort on my part. But its worth it for me because I like to save money and I don't have to do this very often, I tend to keep my cars till they have well over 200k miles.

Its not exactly mom and pop, Its a smaller dealership from the same people at a bigger chevy dealer. They got the car through a trade in and fixed some stuff, Nd their autocheck, which is what they give you by default, shows up clean. I was wrong, they didnt tell me about the crack, nd they blame it on a gasket, so thats how they can get away with the 7k price tag. Even clean title, 5k at most.

 

Ugh I am a sales consultant at a Mazda dealership. I wish I could give everyone bottom dollar deals, but I need to make money too. The used car lot determines the value of your trade-in, so it's like a dance between sales, managers, and different lots within the same company. Unfortunately I get to be the face of everything negative about the whole experience, but it can also be extremely positive if it all goes right and the customer is not unreasonable.

 

Youre saying the price in unreasonable?
