So, we're looking for an SUV for camping and ScouseLady likes the Mitsubishi Outlander. We viewed this car and liked it, but what's a reasonable amount to try and haggle off a used car?

I actually think the price is fair, but we've only been in Aus 3 days and so money saved can be spent better elsewhere, so I'm going to be a little cheeky!

"It has the power to smash the terrain". Great selling point...

I'm afraid I can't answer your question SM, just amazed at some of the BS car dealers come up with. Best of luck with whatever vehicle you end up with though

This is what redbook suggests are the range of values for that year and model. Note that the owner probably wouldn't get more than 11 grand as a trade-in. It's got decent mileage - if the vehicle's in really good nick, I'd be offering $13,000 and be prepared to go a little higher if I really wanted it. I wouldn't be paying $15,500 - I'd go $14,000 tops. But it all depends on how much you (your wife ) wants it.
It also might be worth getting the vehicle checked out before handing over the cash - I know the RAC do used vehicle checks but I'm sure lots of other places do as well.
