Following is a copy of an email I sent to CarNu and recieved coorespondance from Wayne (will leave last name out for privacy issues) to negotiate a deal for a VW Cabrio you make your own judgement of his responses\r
MY Comment/Question: I have 5500 cash and will purchase this vehicle as a second car for \r
myself and my daughter if you believe you could work with me please contact me I have \r
quite alot of offers but I really want a white cabrio and this is the perfect one. I \r
live in baltimore and will be finalizing my purchase on friday\r
Thank you Christine\r
His responses\r
Good luck 2500 less then l am asking. Maybe you can by one in Baltimore and paint it \r
white. \r
My response\r
well mabye if you lowered your price a little more as a fair market value then you would \r
have a car sale - i guess you will continue to let it sit on your lot i have done my \r
research and understand a fair market price of 5500 - 6500 for this car if you were a \r
good salesperson you would not reject anyone with cash in hand.\r
His next response\r
I am a great salesperson. I don't negoiate 2500 of my price. Good luck. I can give \r
you the name of a painter in baltimore to repaint your car. \r
You make your judgement all I was trying to do was to make an offer and negotiate a fair price for a vehicle for my daughter. Obviously I was lucky I did not visit this dealership.\r
