I want to buy a used car thats 5888 and the book value is the same...?

I am going to get the car checked out by a mechanic today. The car has been in 3 minor accidents which is the only issue really mentioned in the carfax report. I was just wondering how much I should try to talk them down on the car?I want to buy a used car thats 5888 and the book value is the same...?
Your offer will depend on the results of the inspection by the mechanic.



If they give the car a clean report than offer the seller 20% less than the asking price. Start the negotiations at that point and see where it goes from there.



If they give the car a nuetral report then it's up to you to decide if you want to even make an offer. If you do then make the offer 30% off asking price.



If they give the car a failing report don't make an offer at all.I want to buy a used car thats 5888 and the book value is the same...?
1. Book value has nothing to do with the car. Think about it. Has anyone from the book company come and taken a look at that vehicle? No. So why would the book value have anything to do with that specific vehicle?



2. You can try to talk them down as much as you want. They don't have to agree to it. Why would you ask us that anyway? It's not like we know what they will accept.I want to buy a used car thats 5888 and the book value is the same...?
Well, we cannot help you here until you give us some info on the car...

Whats the make and model

How many miles on it

How old is it



Until we get this it will be hard to determine if the price is right.
