Try Cars.com and adjust your search accordingly.

Here was a quick and dirty search for $20-$25K, 2010-20112, Colors: Y,B,G in a 250 mile radius of Aurora and I came up with 41 Cars.
Used 2010 Chevrolet Camaro - Yellow in 60503 Area - on Cars.com

All of these could be dealt down to your price range. It's all how and where you search.

Thanks a ton!

Any advice on talking down a dealer? I always bought my vehicles used so I was honestly not even aware that I could do that.

Lets say the sticker price is 23,950. How much can I expect to talk them down?

Most dealers have a mark up of around 2500-3000 on the used cars after "pack & recon" but that isnt always true... They may have only 1000 up depending upon how deep they are in the unit. New cars are easier to judge and know what net-net-net is... Tho you have to know someone to get that.

Welcome! Good luck in your search.

Why aren't you buying used now? All the ones listed above are used and fully depreciated already. 41 within 250 miles, imagine if I had gone further out? Used cars have a longer warranty than the new ones if they are certified.

Cash is King! Even if you get your financing ahead of time. By this I mean go to a bank, credit union, etc. and get financed for a certain amount ahead of time so you know how much you can negotiate with.

If a used car is listed at $23K and some change I would offer $19K cash. They will either take it, start negotiations or be jerks and say no and you go to the next car on your list. If you start to negotiate don't go above your $20K price and be prepared to walk on to the next one on your list. Whatever you do DON"T let them drag this out. If this process takes longer than 15 minutes to 1/2 hour, WALK. They are just jerking you around hoping you will fall in love with the car and come up on your price. Be Firm.

PS. Don't forget taxes and fees on top of the sales price.
