Tips for Pricing Private Party Vehicles

No matter what the car you are buying is worth, the seller will rarely take the price you've offered. People who sell private party vehicles love to haggle, and it can be a fun game to negotiate a price and establish a rapport with a seller. However, you still don't want to overpay for the car. How do you know if you're getting the best price?

  1. Look at the auction price - Car auctions give you a good idea of what certain makes and models are selling for. Look at what car auctions are trying to get for the vehicle you are trying to buy, and it will give you a place to start when you are estimating its worth.
  2. Understand the fair market value - You don't want to pay the fair market value for a used car but understanding the value gives you a good idea of the car's cost. Credit Karma suggests looking up the car's fair market price in Kelley Blue Book or something similar before negotiating.
  3. How much demand is there? - Knowing whether a car is in demand can help you find the right price to pay, and we can help clue you into a car's demand. If the demand is high, it might be worth paying a little more since you know the turnover will be quick, but you don't want to pay a lot for a car with little demand.
  4. How quickly can you turn the car around? - You want to sell the car off your lot as quickly as possible after you buy it. Keep this factor in mind when negotiating a price for the car. How quickly is it going to leave your lot?
