Depends on the individual dealer's way of doing business. Haven't you seen any dealers operating with "the price you see is the price you pay?" You'll have to do some research. Estimate how much the dealer's invested in the car; what he bought it for, what he put into it (new tires, clean up, fixing dings, warranty,,...) & what he would be ok with as profit. If it's been in inventory for a while, he may consider taking a small loss to move it. If it's a popular model, he's not gonna give it away. The dealer wants to sell you a car but he doesn't have to if it doesn't make sense. There’s no magic rate. Depends on the individual dealer’s way of doing business.

Check kbb.com and nadaguides.com. The car that the seller is asking $15K for may not be worth $12K or $13K, so if you "talked him down" you would still be paying too much. Here's a hint: Car sellers do not price their cars at fair market value. Here's some more help: . What is the car actually worth? Check kbb.com and nadaguides.com.
