How much should I pay for this car?
 

Question for you: I found a nice 2001 civic at a reputable used car dealer. 5 speed manual trans. with 92000 miles. I drove it and it's nice. Priced at $6995. Blue book value from a car dealer is $5100. What should I start the price negotiation at and what would be a fair deal. According to blue book, it says if I have one to sell on the open market, I might get in the mid $3k range, and if I traded it in, I would get in the high $2k range. Any ideas?

That's way to much,offer 5K cash.

never heard of a ''reputable'' used car dealer they got carfax ???
