Use these steps to get a fair price and avoid overpaying.

  1. Do your research - know the fair market value before stepping on the lot
  2. Get quotes from multiple dealers - competition helps you negotiate better
  3. Negotiate the price first - don't discuss trade-in or financing until the price is set
  4. Be willing to walk away - this is your strongest negotiating tool
  5. Time your purchase - end of month, quarter, or year often yields better deals

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this tool

How accurate are online car price estimates?

Estimates vary by source and data. AutoPremo uses market data and regional trends to give a fair range. For a specific offer, provide the VIN and dealer quote for a more precise check.

What is a fair price for a used car?

Fair price depends on make, model, year, mileage, condition, and location. Use our price checker and compare to similar listings and dealer quotes to see if an offer is in range.

What's the difference between MSRP and invoice price?

MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) is the sticker price. Invoice price is what the dealer paid the manufacturer. Dealers also receive holdback (typically 2-3% of MSRP) and sometimes manufacturer incentives, so their true cost is often lower than invoice.

How much below MSRP should I pay?

For most vehicles, paying 3-5% below MSRP is a good deal. High-demand vehicles may sell at MSRP or above, while slow-selling models may discount 10% or more. Our price checker accounts for these market dynamics.

Are dealer markups negotiable?

Yes, market adjustments (dealer markups) are negotiable, though dealers may refuse to budge on high-demand vehicles. Your best leverage is being willing to wait or shop at other dealers.
