Good deal or pass on it? I wanna offer them $15k and go from there.
Thanks for all the info, Mike

Bought the same car for 15,300 this last summer. it had 46,000 miles on it..... tell them 14,800.00 if they say no, give them your number and tell them to call when they decide that they want to sell the car. If nothing from them in three days go in, cause a stink and offer 15,000.00 for a final number, if they still say no, do it again and walk out....they will call......worked for me!

I always offer 80% of the sale price. They counter with 90% of said price, I counter with 90% all fees inclusive, I also pay local sales tax etc...

They will make $5000 on a car they sell minimum. Then they will reduce the price a $1000 a month until it sells. If it gets to within a $1000 of their trade in value, what they paid for it, they will sit on it or make a deal to move it, or sell to an employee etc...

Offer 12750 and let them counter. Don't expect to pay 12750. Get it down to $14500 inclusive of fees and pay the tax. Your happy, they are happy.

Check with RoyLpita to see if he will bless you with an Oasis report (pm him).

If all is well go buy your Marauder.
