I'm sorry if this is the wrong section to post, I'm using an iPhone so my search capabilities are hindered by the app and browses control.
In the next months, I'll most likely downgrade my caprice to a smaller yet more expensive BMW. I'm just wondering if there are any tips from the experts out there in handling a negotiation. I'm no greenhorn yet far from an expert or automotive insider.
My main questions is tactics used and what the makeup value usually is. Example, if a used car is between $45000 - $50000, how much room do I have to move?
I don't want to low-ball as it shows the dealer I havent got a clue (which is true at present) and I don't want my offer to be too high for obvious reason.
Is there also a good time to buy? Eg excess stock clearance? A good friend negotiated a good deal on a convertible a few years back. They had the car on their lot for a long time and were about to sent it back to the wholesaler. Is there a set time dealers send unsold cars off?
I'm good at buying watches because that's all I read about (hobby) but cars I'm no so clued up on.
