I think you lowballed a bit too hard there. Not a serious buyer, they get hundreds of those low ball offers, if you asked for 10K off then maybe it's reasonable. But that's too much.
The offer was too low to be taken seriously. They get hundreds of lowball online offers some qualified most probably not. Based on your first offer, I think the sales person was wise to focus his efforts elsewhere. The dealers don’t negotiate too much because they have to be competitive nationwide, so they put their best foot forward. They price cut 10k, but that’s when their market research software and the market dictates. 239 or 240 K would’ve been the right offer if you were serious.
You mean to tell me if you have a guy on the hook for a quarter million dollar car and he asks for a ~10% discount that you just should even entertain a counter? Dude…
@@bawags300_svt8 i’m surprised this is a surprise to you. I’m sure we have both bought 10+ cars in our lifetime and I am always amazed at how little car dealers will negotiate. 30k used truck, wouldn’t come down more than 500. I’ve recently looked at a 289K Hurrcan and they wouldn’t budge more than $1000 because it was one of the best priced ones on auto trader. I did just buy a car for 122 that was advertised for 126, which was a decent drop. But the point with the pressure from nationwide online listings, all car dealers are pricing the cars aggressively in the first place. And low Ballers don’t have a good reputation in the industry, I’ve been one occasionally. But once they put you in the lowball category, the odds are not favorable to close a deal.
