How much can I bargain off asking do you think? TIA
Queen of the Road: Welcome to AutoBragBlog! $16,000 is a fair price for this car. I would bargain an extra $500 to $1,000.
For a 2007 Toyota Rav4 2WD 4C with 15,100 miles, wholesale prices range from $15,950 (being in above average condition) to $15,000 (being in average condition) and $14,000 (being in below average condition).
A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $15,500 to $17,700. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
Check the carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection.
