Can you "deal" with a used car price?

Is there any wiggle room when you pay cash for a used car? Like it is crazy to ask for TTL to be included in the price being advertised for the the car?

And also when buying used other than Carfax and no accidents/flood/air bag deployment anything else to look for?

You can always try to haggle.

Why disclose how you are paying. Cash on a dealer lot means nothing. Negotiate the price and when each party agrees to the deal, whip out the cash, sign title, and drive off.

Never hurts to ask, but agree 'cash' is no longer king in the vehicle purchase process

If that is the vehicle you want and the price is close, I would jump on it quickly. An incredible number of vehicles destroyed in the flood wil cause a rush on quality used vehicles . Of course attempt to negotiate but now is not the time to be hard nosed, it is a sellers market.

Do NOT rely on Carfax/Autocheck etc. Get the VIN, call your insurance agent and have them check to see if there's ever been a claim on the vehicle. If possible take it to an independent shop to have them do a pre-purchase inspection.

I wrecked a truck doing $15,000 worth of damage and it never showed up on carfax, and was repaired at a Ford dealership.

Everything is negotiable when it comes to car shopping.
