Offer a low ball for it, you never know but low KMs cars are usually pretty good. I've never been keen on red cars either, always reminds of the old Aust post cars.
I drove it, was happy with it, wasn’t even planning an offer at this point.
Thanked him for his time and was leaving. He asked me to make an offer, I told him I truthfully that I was trying to keep my budget to $20k, and I’d keep looking.
He offered to throw in 3 month rego....last of the big spenders.
I said no, but I might come to $22000 drive away. (It’s 23.5).
Says he’d lose money at that. I lol’d a bit and left.
Hour later he rings me. Offers 23.250 without rego. I point out that’s no better deal.
Another sob story about his manager not letting him go better.
I thanked him and left it at that.
There’s no way the yard payed more than $12-15 as a trade in on that, I’d wager. Lol.
Yes, they have expenses and wages, but if someone feeds you shit and won’t genuinely try to negotiate, I’m outta there.
In all honesty, compared to what’s out there with super low km, the right spec, and good conditions, the price is ok. But I’m a stubborn cuss.
