So i been looking at this certain vehicle for a while. I was wondering exactly what i expect to offer them? Because as of now, the price seems a bit high considering my past deals that i proposed to others. Any kind of help/buying methods will be highly appreciated!

Rule #1: Have the Loan/Check ready to buy. If you are just looking than do just that. Stop wasting the sellers time asking for pictures if you do not even or have a check/loan ready.

I haven't asked for any pictures before..but alright I guess? What I was trying to get to was the price that I would want to offer for this car? I was thinking at $22,500.

Do you have $22,500? Are you seriously ready to buy today? If you are, go for it. However, if you wait until summer the prices on all cars will drop. We are in the middle of tax return car buying season right now; there are more buyers than cars so prices are high. Don't be surprised if you call to make an offer and either the car is gone or they are unwilling to negotiate more than a couple hundred bucks.

Fortunately quite a few accepted 2,000 off, and one that was 3,000 off, which i put a deposit on with $1,000, only to find out a week later before i picked it up, they sold it under me to someone else. I'm not in a rush, just having many "If" thoughts in my mind that makes me want to get it now. But to be honest, I think I'll last till summer to buy one, I'll take your word for it. How much would we be expecting for the price to be dropped for a GT?

It's impossible to give an exact number for the price drop but typically it's a couple thousand on cars in this price range. Keep an eye on prices towards the end of June through September. Another very good time to buy a car is December. Unless we see $4 a gallon gas again, if that happens steal one while you can! Do the research and be an informed consumer and you'll rarely make a bad deal.

I have to agree. Used car prices are super high right now. Cars and truck prices at auction are doing sick money. It is hard to buy inventory for the lot without being instantly buried in the car after service, paint guy, dent guy, and detail get to it.
