well i have this fugly hand me down taurus.. and i REEEEEALLLY want to get it traded in.

i went on kelly blue book and got an estimate from around $4500-$5500 for it.
and i wanted to try and trade it for a civic or something... around 6500-8000

what are the best ways to try and haggle the price?
it might just be me and my mom going. my dads a big car expert. cus he had a dealer and hes bought a number of cars ... but hes not here, and i dont know when hes coming home. and i want this car NOW ;; im finally getting my license in about a week. soooo hehe..

sooner the better.

should i take my brother?. hes not that good at this stuff. but a male present might help?

what do i doooo. how do we sound like we know what the heck we're doing?
how do i make sure i can get the BEST price?


the big reason why im so "EEk" on the price. is cus i dont really need this car for a LONG time. cus ill be going to college soon, so i need a good price to help the persuading of my parents along...

HELP MEee PLEASE :]

the best way to get the most money? sell it to a private party, not a dealer. dealers will give you next to nothing for a car, they have to make a profit after all.

since your dad is a big car expert, i suggest wait for him since the dealer can be a tricky person to deal with.

Private seller. Private seller. Private seller.

Maybe try an auciton?

Try Autotrader or something, dealer will always try be cheap.

Dealers will take advantage of anybody they can talk to.
