Fortunately, I found a dealer that wanted to deal. I told the sales rep. that I really didn't want the car, because of it's age and miles, however, based on it's condition, how it drove, and it's iron-clad history/records, I would be forced to buy it if I could get it cheap enough. He asked me what I was thinking in terms of dollars, and here's what happened: I spent 60% or so of the maximum I allotted for spending on a used car, so, I came away with more than I thought I would in both the used car, and $ to spare. I was not planning on spending that little, it just worked out that way. I offered 21.4% less than asking, and they countered with 19.2% less than asking. We had a deal. It's all good. I hope you're pleased with your new purchase! |

This thread should be dead soon. The fat lady isn't singing yet but she's clearing her throat. I can pick the car up tomorrow evening...
