Finding a used car at a fair price is great but you can often negotiate a cheaper price by offer 25% below asking price. Sellers often will come down in price but if they are already at a low book price or have a desirable hard to find vehicle at a high resale value they may not lower the price at all but by pointing out a few defects such as paint or class chips or worn items such as dash carpet and upholstery they drop the price some.
