Question From Howard: What is a good price to purchase a used 2008 Nissan Xterra X 2W/D with 24000 miles. The truck has had some body damage on the drivers door and front quarter panel. The damage has been repaired and there doesn’t appear to be any compromise to the rest of the vehicle. It is my understanding it was a rental and was purchased at Auction. The dealer is asking 13500. I think it is a little high.

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Howard. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you.

For a 2008 Nissan Xterra X 2WD with 24,000 miles (Average), prices range from $13,000 (being in above average condition) to $12,400 (being in average condition) and $11,800 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $13,200 to $14,800. Private seller should range around +5%-10% above wholesale prices.

The $13,500 that the dealers is asking for this Xterra is not bad, however you should always try to negotiate a little more. You should try to negotiate for under $13,000. Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes! Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about our free personal service.

Question From JanNesha: I am looking towards buying my first car and i was just wondering how much should i put down

Queen of the Road: Hi JanNesha. Welcome to our blog! I’d love to help you save money on your first car. Buying your first car is always exciting. It’s an experience everyone always remembers. So let’s make sure you get a great deal.

Did you pick out a car yet? If so, I’ll need all the info. on that car so that I can look up the wholesale price range. There are many factors that can determine if the car will be expensive or less expensive. Sedan or SUV, New or Used, 2WD or 4WD, etc.. If you’re on a budget, I suggest buying a used car but made within a decade. Sites I recommend to search is Craiglist and AutoTrader.

How much you should put down is partially determined by your financial situation.  Historically speaking, interest rates are very low but having bad debt is not a good idea.  What we can tell you is:

1) Don’t buy more car than you can afford.
2) Shop around for the best financing deals.  Check with your local credit union because their rates are usually very good.  Don’t worry if you are not a member because joining is a cinch.
3) Buy the car you want but remember the first point above.  However, don’t ever let a car salesman talk you into buying something you didn’t want in the first place.  The car buying experience should not be like pulling teeth.
4) Think total car price and NOT monthly payments.  Saving some bucks every month but having a loan stretched out for an extra year or two is NOT worth it.

If you don’t mind giving us more specifics on your situation we can better assess your situation.

Since this is your first car buying experience, here are some articles I recommend you glance through to get an idea of what you need.

Send me the car’s info. once you have it picked out and I’ll get to work. Simply leave your info in the comment/reply box.
