I'm interested in buying a used car from a dealership. I was able to haggle the listed price down to $16K, but the dealer won't go farther down. The out-the-door cost after tax and other fees is about $17,700. The price on KBB is $16K for good condition, $17K for excellent (private party). If the price on kbb is supposed to be representative of the listed price, I should be getting an ok deal. But not so much if it's the out-the-door price. So which is it? The car is in like-new condition, btw, according to my mechanic, but there is no warranty included/offered from the dealer, and no other extras offered. I don't know if this matters, but this is a rather rare car to find (not made anymore).
KBB price never includes taxes or fees. If you haggled the purchase price down to sixteen large then you bought the car at the private party blue book price. Not bad from a dealership. But had you paid the sixteen to a private party, you'd still be responsible for tax and registration fees. Take the deal if you like the car.
Price is the value of the car without taxes and license etc
