To me it's not nit-picking or anything but good used car buying. It's your job as the seller to be able to refute or aquiesce to the buyer's requests. When I purchased my first Boxster I asked the dealer about the brakes and he couldn't tell me if they were close to needing replacement. I called the Porsche dealer in front of him and asked what a brake job would cost and they told me almost $2,000 for a complete job so I told them I wanted the $2,000 deducted or they needed to have the car reinspected for brake tolerance and have a brake job done if the rotors were close. They "reduce rather than repair". I got the $2,000 deducted and when I had the car inspected, the brakes were fine. If you're selling the car, have an inspection done and know what the exact amount remaining on your parts is so you can soothe the concerns of the buyer or deduct the amount as requested. Expect nothing less from a buyer than you would do if you were he/she. It's just good business.
