There, you can find out what specific cars are worth and read reviews.
Are AutoTrader prices negotiable?
Auto Trader just hosts the ad. You must negotiate the terms of the sale directly with the seller, and that includes the price. The seller is not under any obligation to accept any offer you make, of course, and some dealers don’t negotiate on price, but they’re usually pretty clear about this up front.
How does Autotrader make money?
Auto Trader makes money from charging them a stock advertising charge on a per-car basis. Retailers with large amounts of stock can get a discount on the standard charge. More money can then be earned by upselling value-added services that help sellers become better engaged with sellers or to source their cars better.

Why do dealers mark up cars?
In most cases, manufacturers allow dealers to set their own prices based on local demand. Higher-demand vehicles may command a markup, sometimes extremely large ones exceeding $30,000. You can usually spot a markup by looking for a listing price that’s higher than MSRP.

Why do dealerships not negotiate?
Why? Because car dealers do not buy their inventory in cash, instead they finance their purchase (just like you or I would). This means that for every day a piece of inventory is sitting on their lot they are paying interest on that loan. You’ll hear this referred to as “floor plan” from dealers.
Can you still negotiate a no-haggle price?
Even if you intend to negotiate the price, you can use no-haggle outlets just as you do comparative price quotes. If you know that a dealership is willing to sell a vehicle at a set price, then you know that no matter which dealership you talk with, you don’t need to pay more than that price.
