How to Buy a Used Car in 8 Simple Steps

7. Haggle the Price and Sign the Papers

When it is time to talk numbers, keep your cool. Let the seller name the very first price. When you reply, use true facts from your market research. Be polite, stand your ground, and always be fully ready to walk right out the door. Just leave your phone number behind!

If you buy at a dealership, signing the papers is super easy. Just read the fine print to dodge sneaky hidden fees. If you buy from a regular person, make sure you write up a clear bill of sale. Check your local DMV website so you know exactly what forms you need to swap the title legally.
