[QUOTE="03cobra#2, post: 16237342, member: 52057"] This. Most dealerships out there use software to competitively price used cars. There is no point in pricing something $2-3k higher then any one else around town because no one will call / come out to look at the car. The dealership I work at works on a 60 day turn. So at around the 60 day mark any vehicle I have on the lot will be priced pretty close to what we might get at auction, and if it don't sell, we auction it and move on. There are a lot of variables and every dealer is different on their used cars as far as discounts go, and when they want to get a car off the lot. I would say get online, dial in the criteria for what you are looking for and start with the cheapest first. If you don't like the car move on to the next one. Keep in mind that when you are online shopping, don't expect any type of sizable discount off ones internet price. For the trade in, they will give you what they think it will sell for at the auction generally speaking. That way, if they can't retail it the auction is the safety net. You might get lucky and find a used car manager that may be willing to step up a bit on the value a bit, but don't hold your breath for a high trade in number. My suggestion is to go find a car max, Carvana, maybe KBB ICO to see if you can sell it outright for a good number. Your state may or may not have a tax savings for used cars. It's a lot of info but I hope this helps. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
