The best time to buy a car [I've read] is near the end of the month when the salesman and dealership need to boost their numbers. If the weather is bad [rainy/cold] they are even more anxious. A car is often the 2nd most expenive item bought. It's work and not to be rushed or an emotional decision.
You know the KBB, as they come down in asking price, you can go up in small numbers and ask for other benefits like quality tires or free oil changes for example.
I would insist on at least a 30 day warranty and take it for a serious test drive. Check with Consumer's or Lemon Aid books [available at library] for weakness in that particular make/model to give you confidence. Ask to see the Manual to see if any warranty work has been done and insist they transfer remaining warranty to you without charge. I wouldn't allow any add-on costs. They would be deal breakers for me.
