Negotiate Successfully with a Used Car Salesman

So you've decided not to buy new. That's good -- a used car is cheaper and usually just as good as any new car. However, you still have to deal with those troublesome salesmen in order to get out of their lot without having your bank account ravaged. Let's go over some ways to prepare you for "The Big Negotiation".

You should also have that exact amount in your pocket, so to speak. If you walk into a dealership, never ever tell them exactly how much you have to spend. If you have $25,000 to spend, tell them you are absolutely not willing to go over 18,000. Now, you know you will have to spend over that, and so does the car salesmen. They have little extras they don't tell you about when they are convincing you to buy this car. Things like:
