Any of you guys have a good system for making a custumer lower the price on a vihicle? I mean when you're buying from a private owner. If you could post anything I might be able to use it along with my system.
Thanks for the help,

You're still looking at that $5,500 Camaro?
Take a good long time to look at the car. That'll give you time to establish somewhat of a rapport with the seller, and hopefully find something wrong with the car that you can use in the negotiations.
Hold your emotions, and DO NOT act interested or excited at all. I always use the "I can take it or leave it" attitude when looking at a car. Having someone with you where you can talk (where you know the seller can barely hear you) about "the other cheaper car" (wink-wink) that you are going to look at next can help too. Trust me, a seller who needs to sell is going to want to hear what you are saying. Act excited, and the seller knows he's got you on the hook. I would hit him with a $4,500 offer and see how much he flinches. Some people talk about insulting a seller with a low-ball offer. But I've never had one tell me to take a hike, especially now, it's a buyers market and a lot of sellers are desperate. I'm sure I'd more than likely get that car in the upper $4's, which is what you want to aim for.

 

Yeah thanks dude you're lots of help through out his add on craigslist expiired that means he didn't sell it for two week either there is sumtin funky with the car or simply noone needs it. So I'll keep doing my tectic I send em fake e-mail telling them Im gona come over and look @ it and tell my Gf to cal lhim and ask him to lower the price and when he starts to complain she sais that she found a better deal and disconects. Then i do the same thing with my friends and i got my sonata for 3k instead of the priced $$4600 it did have a few problems tho very poorly meintained ended up replacing all 4 hubs and 2 wheel bearing along with 2 tired with bumps on them

 

I've bought and sold a bunch of cars. Here is a fact

we all want to buy low and sell high. Remember that when you are trying to buy as well as when you try to sell.

A good rule of thumb of a successful negotiation is when you both feel as if you left money on the table. That is, both the buyer and seller feel a little bit cheated. That is when you have a good deal.

 

Agreed but i never felt cheated when i bought a car not sure about the customer tho

 

Put on or practice a good POKER FACE ! All you have to loose is your MONEY !! The guys above are experienced at this, as you can see. Do some homework and get to know your car, a good defence is a good offence, GOOD LUCK !!

 

haha ma ma ma poker face!
