On any old beater type car/truck the dealer will give the bare minimum.

They offered my friend $300 on a 98 AWD 5.0 explorer with new michilin M/S tires.

Test drive, put a deposit down, but blazer on Craigslist and take first decent offer. Unless the dealer is willing to give you a decent trade value, not likely on an old blazer.

I got $1700 for that explorer on Craigslist, and let me tell you, I had people spam calling me and texting me, if I could grow old reliable 4x4s on a tree and sell em I would.

I don't know if you expect to finance that car but it's too old for any major bank. Maybe local banks or a personal loan. Don't do any deals with a buy her pay here lot though.

Not OP but I was also curious about this.
I saw a dealer's CL listing for a used car that I liked, but their price with tax was over the average or suggested KBB price from a dealer.
How do I go about haggling that price down? Do used dealers even bother with haggling these days?
