Quoted from Dodgefolks:I don't agree with that, I sell cars for a living. I own a small dealership. I get very agitated with offers. I just got one via email 5 minutes before I read this post. I'm asking $3,995 for a truck and they just offered 2,900 out the door. So after state fees that translates into about a 2,400 offer on a basically 4 grand truck. That to me is a ridiculous offer. If your offering close to half of asking that's pushing it in my opinion.
Really?!? You sell used cars for a living - that’s ALL about offers and negotion over pricing, is it not? (I don’t own a dealership or anything but it seems like pretty accepted practice). You priced at 4 grand and they offered $3k - that seems perfectly reasonable. How’s the buyer supposed to know what state taxes your paying on it? Any buyer is going to assume you priced it a bit over it’s value and thru negotion/offers that’s gonna come down.
