It is impossible to shop for a used car price because there are no 2 used cars that are the same. A new car you can find invoice prices, equipment option prices and any incentives. The wiggle room on new cars can almost zero (unless it is a very desirable model). The money is made on the back end: financing, aftermarket items and any trade-in.


I look at CarMax and other sites that can give you comps. I also use EBay to see what the car was sold for - after all the market affects the price as well as condition, millage and optional equipment. As with any negotiation, do your homework, start low, know your limit and be prepared to walk away from a deal that doesn't feel right.

Good luck.
