2007 at Dealership

You can try looking at KBB, Edmunds and NADA, for starters.

 

toyota certified with warranty?

 

Don't play their game - don't go to the dealer, don't even call.

Why? Because the ONLY reason that they would be withholding information is to put the potential customer at a disadvantage.

Now, why would you ever want to start the car-buying process with someone who plays that sort of game from the start?

If it were a good price and they knew it, they'd list it.

 

If you have a credit union, call them, give them the details (preferably the VIN) and ask them what loan value is and pay no more than maybe $1000 over that number.

You can also key in the VIN, state and mileage here: Black Book to get an idea of what the car is worth. Look at "average trade value" since there is a good chance that the car was bought at auction and this is closer to what retail should be.

I would recommend foregoing KBB and NADA.

 

Frame of reference for price: my 2007 with 34k miles was $14.7k in December as a certified used car.

 

Tell them you might come in to look at the car if they tell you the price!

A$$holes!

 

American Express has a New and Used car buying program w/ pretty rock bottom prices. If you don't have AmEx, have a friend/family member who does log onto their account on-line to see what pricing looks like. California dealerships list prices; don't know if Virginia dealerships will.

Costco also has an auto buying program too, but only NEW.

KBB, Edmunds, and other on-line sites to get pricing is a great idea.

Good luck.

 

Does the dealer or car appear in the AAA buying program? Did you contact the dealer through their website? If you can't get data via e-mail or over the phone then don't waste your time over this one.
