Opinions on price negotiation on a 2003 used vibe

Post by LindPen »

Hello! I am in the market for a used vibe and was hoping to get some opinions if this is a good deal. I've been looking for about a week and based on what I have seen it seems to be a fair deal, but I definitely don't want to over pay for something. It is a 2003 Pontiac Vibe all wheel drive with new tires and new brakes, clean carfax report, seems in good condition for an 2003 with 84,000 miles. It is at a dealership with a sticker price of $9400. We have negotiated a bit and he came down to $6900. Then taxes and fees would add another $558. Making it a total of $7458. Does that sound fair? Thanks for any advice!

That price is very fair, for what I have seen. I try to base it on the deal I got for my Vibe, 78,216 miles for $6k, and two new tires and salvage title. A clean title for near that is an excellent deal! An AWD too! I say go for it, then post up pictures ASAP!

Thanks for any advice! Looks to me like you negotiated quite a bit. Used car prices are strong these days.To make you feel better - a lot better - check and see what CarMax is asking for a similar car - at a supposedly no haggle price. You can check the entire country at their web page.

IMHO, that is a very fair price for an AWD model. Almost to good!
