How much do you think I can buy this used car for (how to negotiate)?


Hello, this beautiful great condition 2005 Lincoln town car has been on the lot at my local ford/Lincoln dealership for about 3 months now. It has 110k miles on it and has a sunroof, back up sensors and chrome trim. The car is absolutely stunning, only thing is that there s a tiny mark on the rear bumper. It is $8000 (average price) but I asked for the car fax and this is where it got a little more iffy.

It was a rental car for 10 months (though I doubt someone would thrash a luxury rental car). Then with the second owner it was in a minor accident (no structural damage according to the report). Also it being on the lot for 3 months makes me wonder if it is worth the $8,000 price tag at all! But on the positive note it has been religiously services at the dealership throughout the second owner.

Do you think if I ask $5,000 they will take it? Does it being a formal rental and being in a accident lower its value greatly?
