rule of thumb for me has always bee that if you see a car for $1,200 they want $1,000 if you see a car for $21,000 they want $20,000 and when you offer them $20,000 for a car thats priced at $21,000 they will make that stupid face like they are really mulling it over and sometimes even blame their wife and tell you some line of ***** like "I have to the full amount or she'll kill me" knowing damn well they are prepaired to sell it for 20k even. Its probably not even the 1k its more like some ego thing. I uaually look over the car and come back with what i think its worth to me, and tell um, look this is what i have and show it to um, if they say no, there are 1000 more cars like it for sale somewhere. Thank god for the internet.
