If your target is 25k, I'd start lower. If you start there, they may only go down to 26k.

If you're trying to get it below 25k or at it, try starting at 21k or 22k. Tell them you're on a tight budget and you can't go too far up from there and see what they counter with.

If you have a firm price/budget, don't go above it just because they make it sound like a good deal. Move on, there's always more vehicles you can find in your price range.

I do not understand buying a car without seeing it. Call me old fashioned, but whatever.

I ran the numbers on the car you want and come out with 22650 as the price you should buy the car at for a fair deal. If you finance I would suggest paying the fees and tax in cash and not roll into the deal. Doing so even if you go 60 months should be above the water value wise.

I have bought many cars and this is my standard method of buying.

I bought my ex-wife's Venza online from Dallas. I ended up calling to make an offer. Asking was $27,500. I told the sales woman I was good for $25,000 and I could wire or Visa a deposit then fly there with a Cashier's Check next day. They turned me down but they countered w/ $26,000. I held on to my bluff, told them I thought they were being very fair... but I "just didn't have it". We hung up at a stalemate. Two days letter I get a call and the sales woman said her boss decided to accept my offer... I flew out next morning and drove it home.

Are those nautical miles or statute miles?

After the approximately one million cars in the US have been flooded over the past month, I'd only buy a used car from someone I personally knew.
