Queen of the Road: Hi Chris. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! What price did they offer you? This is a fair range: $8,700 to $12,900.
For a 2008 Nissan Versa Sedan SL with 18,800 miles, wholesale prices range from $11,500 (being in above average condition) to $9,500 (being in average condition) and $7,600 (being in below average condition).
A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $8,700 to $12,900. 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. Here’s a good article to read before continuing: Car Buying Tips From An Insider. Let me know if you have any further car questions.
Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!
