Determining Value
It is important to determine the value of the vehicle so you have an idea of what you should be paying for this particular type of car. Gather all the information you can on the car and look at trusted guides to get an idea. Common ones include NADA and Kelley Blue Book, but many people in the know about used cars recommend Galves, which specifically deals with used cars. You also have to consider the marketability of the particular car when deciding on a reasonable price and how much you should be paying. Depending on where you live, the type of weather you experience and any added features, for example, can all affect the asking price. Looking at what similar cars are being sold for in your area can help assess this marketability issue.
