How do I negotiate the best price for a used car: Volkswagen Rabbit OR Toyota Camry?

I'm considering a used Toyota Camry or a new Volkswagen Rabbit. If I go with a used vehicle, there are so many Camrys out there, I don't want to pay $14.00 for every Camry I look up on Consumer reports (which I hear can be done). With the Volkswagen rabbit, since they are new, how do I find out about dealer hold backs, rebates, incentives... and other ways to negotiate the best price?How do I negotiate the best price for a used car: Volkswagen Rabbit OR Toyota Camry?The best way to negotiate a price is to know the value of the vehicles before hand. Check out the vehicle by going to www.kbb.com and enter the make, model, year of the vehicle in question and click on the radial button for "Excellent", "Good", "Fair" or "Poor" condition. The next page will give you a $ amount you should be paying for that vehicle. Of course this is a round-about-figure but this is a starting place for negotiation. Offer that price or some price a little lower (don't get rediculouse) for the vehicle you are looking at. As far as a new vehicle (Volkswagon Rabbit), most manufacturers show on their website any rebates or incentives that are currently offered. Again, look at the kbb.com website for the "New" vehicle catagory and find out what other people are paying for the same vehicle and negotiate around that price.

God bless!!How do I negotiate the best price for a used car: Volkswagen Rabbit OR Toyota Camry?One thing you can do is use the auto sites like Edmund's or Auto Trader to find out the prices of a Camry in your zip code. If you or someone you know is a AAA member, they have a car-buying service that will usually do better than most of us can do on our own. I don't think you will get info on the dealer holdback, because that is their money, and they won't give it to you. Be aware of this, selling anything is a business. They will make a profit on what you buy. If they don't make profit, they go out of business. What you want to do is make sure that you don't give them too much profit.How do I negotiate the best price for a used car: Volkswagen Rabbit OR Toyota Camry?go on kellybluebook.com and look up the value that way....
