used Prius from dealer - how much should I offer

Our local Toyota dealer has a 2006 Prius in great condition with low mileage. I'd like to make an offer, but have never tried to bargain with a car dealer before. Do they generally allow a certain percentage of the asking price for haggling?

The asking price is $19,500. What would be the lowest price I should ask and still be taken seriously?

Re: used Prius from dealer - how much should I offer

A little homework on your part will get you value for your bucks, if I was in your shoes with the knowleage I have required my first step would be to check autotrader.com, if in Canada .ca . type in 2006 Prius and allow a 100 mile distance, you will most likely find a few listed with around same miles that should give you a good idea if asking price is fair for your area.

As for haggling go to this website http://www.usedcartips.org/ and navigate to " How Dealers Negotiate " and " How You Negotiate " I dont expect you to become an expert over night but you will pick up a few pointers by study... good luck

SUMMARY... After study the link provided, offer $2000. less and do the walk.

I don't know the exact values from KBB, but they usually go for around 17k-18k used.
