6/21 White Sox (Contreras) at Cubs (Marquis) 12:05 WGN

This is entirely unrelated to the Cubs game, but I'm looking at buying a car. Today. And need some advice. And I know a lot of people are reading this thread. If the dealer is asking 22,900 for a vehicle, is an offer around 19,500 reasonable?

 

 

Do your research and find out what the dealer cost was for the car. That will tell you how low you can offer.

I've been looking at various things online for the past hour or so. Where do you find that? It's a used car (2007).

 

If it's used, then there's really know way to know what the dealer has in it. Use kelly blue book and find out the blue book value first.

I love Geo's game hair.

E-Patt may end up making Cedeno and Fontenot expendanble, not that they dont do that on their own.

You're welcome. My first wife's father sold cars and her brother was the GM at a dealership, so I learned a lot of the tricks from them.

[Fred Hornkohl]

That's the CUBS first stolen base in their last 7 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Damnit. We need to get that second run back.

Opening salvo: "This is car is crap. I will buy it for next to nothing"

 

Follow up: "Here are your options. You can sell it for parts. Drive it off a cliff. You can donate it to a person you'd like to see die in a car crash. Or, you can sell it to me and Ill use it like a wagon on my farm. It'll be towed by a donkey."

 

Offer $1

I think my favorite part of that Touch of Gray commercial is how he just completely blows by the kid who is guarding him. Good job old man.

Yeah, there's a ton of information online as far as tactics, strategies, etc. I know how to negotiate, it's something I do every day at work. I just can't seem to find anything that tells me how much you can knock off the price of a car.

How much you can knock off depends on how motivated they are to sell. That varies from dealer to dealer. It depends on how much credit the dealership is rolling, what they have in the car as far as costs, and other things. On new cars, sometimes the dealer gets incentives to sell a certain number of cars in a certain amount of time. In this case, they may take less because what they will get in the incentive (esp if your sale puts them over that number) will make up what profit they may not get from you. On used cars, sometimes they may want to move them off the lot, especially if they are running out of space. It's a variable thing. As was mentioned earlier, I wouldn't expect them to sell below blue book...so that should be your starting point.
