I am going to buy a used car for the frist time in Canada. Was wondering how much you can haggle for a used car. If the listed price with a showroom is $17,999/-, what should be a good deal?

Using Autotrader, Carpages, and even Kijiji or Craigslist to find similar vehicles and compare their prices.
VMRCanada and the Black Book(Google Toyota Black Book) are also good ways to find a range.

I've always been told 20-25%...

No way, if the price was already super competitive
OP, it's as much as your negotiation skill, as much as your research skill on RFD. Good luck on the purchase

There's no CCC for used cars. But as coriolis said, check autotrader and others as well as dealers to give you an idea as to the value.

+1 - the varying condition, mileage, options and then regional pricing differences mean you have to watch ads, etc to get a good feel for what stuff is worth.
Even then, if you find that really sweet one, extremely low mileage, owned by a little old lady who only drove to church on Mondays, etc, you may want to pay more than market. Depends upon the car.

From what I understand, some dealerships have a secret code word that they're bound by that will grant this...

You can haggle whatever the other person is willing to go down to.

LOL at these two comments. I hope they are joking!
