SAGA : Selling a nice 2003

[boxfix]

YES

I had them ask for me to buy their version of CarFax.......

This one was annoying because they were very nice and looked at the car 2 days in a row and never seemed to question that the price was firm and non-negotiable. I even have a CA smog certificate that is good for 3 months so they know it will not be a problem to pass smog. THEY LOVED THE CAR.........

You can follow-up with them that your offer still stands.

If they go find a cheaper car -- they will still end up paying $x to get it as good as this one ... and you will have the time and energy to have spent doing that (and not enjoying the car at the time).

You want a good solid car -- then buy mine at this price -- otherwise call me back when you've looked at and passed on the rest of the junk cars out there -- then pay my price if its still available.

you hit it spot on. I represented a really sorted out car with perfect paint, new tires, new battery tons of recent work, and I thought they soaked it all in.

I will have no problem selling it to someone who really gets it.

Don't take it personal, the buyers are just trying to part with as little as possible, just like the seller is looking to get as much as possible. Be patient, if that doesn't work dropping the price is a consideration.

I personally never lowball people out of respect, I do however have some friends that have scored ridiculous deal doing just that, GLWS!!

P.S. When I sold my Boxster I took $1000 less than my bottom dollar price since I stumbled upon a heckuva deal on a 911 and bought it while the Boxster was still for sale, I changed my perspective since the circumstances changed. I also had to keep the Mrs. happy, that is a MAJOR factor lol. Just an example of how a hard / firm stance can change based on unseen outside influences.
