I'm going to look at this car tomorrow, unfortunately it's an automatic but I would just be using it for a 16 mile round trip commute and it would sit in my garage and give me something to work with a little, I think his asking price is a bit high considering it's an auto, what would your offers be. I hate to lowball but I think 3500 is a fair price for this GT.

The pics aren't great, but it looks like a nice fox. If the title's clean, find out the accidnt history, and look it over for repairs. If it all checks out, I think you could get it for $4k.

I say offer what you feel. Worst thing they can say is no. Shit I would pop off with 3k or lower. If he says no, I leave. I very rarely shoot back a counter offer. If they shoot one I listen. Its a buyers market, act like it.

I am not so much cheap, but I think of myself as a good business man. If something is worth it I pay it. If not I state what I am willing to pay if not I cut. No harm no foul. Also only a fool would not at least attempt a lowball offer. JMO...

The climate almost dictates that you at least throw the lowball bait out there. If he says no, then you set a lower baseline to negotiate from. I do not see the harm in it. WIth the way things are financially in the US you may get it for the lowball.

if it has a clean title and the ext. and int. looks pretty good, that car is worth about 3500-3700. don't be a lowball bastard. just let the seller know you're serious about buying it and ask them for a reasonable deal. see what they say and then you counter $500-700 lower if it's in your price range that you had in mind.

fools that lowball 2000-3000 than the asking price is just wasting people's time.

I know it is about to be me against the CaFords ballers Krew. But I would say let the dude offer 3k, shit he may just take it. If he says no and he really wants the car, go from there. Money talks, and sometimes that bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in the bush. I've bought cars for half the asking price. And I have been lowballed before too I dont take it as disrespect like some tend to think. Just politely say no and tell them what you would consider. But like I said there is a likelihood the seller would take it more than ever now. We are in a damn recession.

5.0s are starting to creep back up on prices. If that car is clean titled then it is worth $4,000.
 
Posted by Trunkster (Member # 6598) on :
 
All I asked for was opinions on what you would offer and I stated that I thought that $3500 was reasonable for this car, nothing to funny about that, I even stated that I hate to make lowball offers, but it is what it is, I'll look at the car and make an offer of whatever I feel the car warrants. It's not a 5 speed, the interior is not black, now I'm just justifying to myself why I feel it isn't worth $4900, if he were asking 10k, I'd be offering $6500 or so less, it's not that I'm a cheap bastard trying to offer 2k for a car that's worth 4k, people seem to get shit a little twisted, I'm willing to pay what I and a few level headed others seem to think it's worth, all that happened here was my opinion on this cars value is shared by others.

If you REALLY want the car you should offer the guy what you think the car is worth to you. It's value will depend on the actual condition (if it looks as good as the pics) and if the title is clean or salvage.

The problem wiht low ballin' (if you actually intend on purchasing the car) is that the seller may not take you seriously and will just ignore you.

I do this all the time.. someone shoots me a rediculously stupid offer and I basically don't even respond or negotiate b/c I know they aren't really interested in buying what I am selling.

My 2 cents [patriot]

But I am sure he was not without those offers. He just held out for his price. Nothing wrong with that.

Agreed-

If i think the car is worth $3000 i'l offer $3000 and if the buyer doesn't want it.. Goodbye and goodluck. Theres always 5.0s for sale all over.
 
Posted by Jdub07 (Member # 2728) on :
 
Personlly what I try and do is find what I want in my current price range. Then pay what they are asking or very close to it if I feel it is worth it.

Lowest offer I got on the lightning was $4k. And some trades. But being I'm in no hurry the right offer came about that both parties I think feel is fair. I didn't get $6.5 I got $7K,.....just kidding.

Seriously you really never know what shit will go for. I will say, dealing with compitent people is worth lowering the price a few hundred bucks or paying asking price.

Jimmy, $3500 on a $4900 asking price is wasting the sellers time imho.

I am not saying there is anything wrong with offering whatever you think is fair, but if you are gonna low-ball, I would do it over the phone first so you are not wasting that person's time or your own.

If it were my car, I would not be happy if I took an hour out of my day to show the car and let the potential buyer test drive it only to get hit with a low-ball.

Just mho. If the asking price is out of your range, just keep looking. Don't be a dreamer.

And N8, if I am selling a car and I don't need the money, you low ball me that hard, I may just grab the keys and walk and not give you another chance. That's how much I hate low ballers, lol. [Razz]

I think that the people who REALLY need cash already give out good deals from the start of the posting to get rid of it.
So unless I see a firm price, I know negotiation will have minimal slack. However, if I see those three letters 'obo', it's on!

If I put a price of $4900 obo, then I would want $4500 for it. If Foxbodys are going up in price then I will start buying them all up again. Also if someone offered me $1400 less than I wanted for any of my Mustangs, then I would respond with, if it doesn't sell in 6 months then I will take your offer.

I don't see what is so wrong with feeling someone out over the phone.

"Hi there, I saw the ad, if the car looks as nice in real life as it does in the pics, I am prepared to offer you $XXXX. How does that sound to you?"

Simple...

If the owner says no, you move on.
If the owner agrees to your price you go see the car. If it then meets your expectations, you buy it for that amount. If it doesn't you walk away.

Very simple low-baller etiquette lol (and yes I have known to be a low baller at times but I try to be as respectful about it as possible, lol)

I'm just caught up on wasting people's time if you know in advance that you are gonna toss out a low-ball offer.

There is also one other aspect to Luke's Low Baller Handbook. How long has the car been for sale? If it is a month or two, I think its completely gravy to shake things up a bit. But if the car was just posted, well, the probability of your low-ball having a positive outcome is slim.

Just mho [patriot]

why:

Economy is SHOT to shit
Its an Auto
bottom looks yellowed
there is no vin
no mention of clean title
no details
its a GT lol
no motor pics

doesn't seem like they want to sell it bad enough for $4900

the fact that I sold my mustang in this shit econmy for $4700 and it was 3 times better than this

should I go on?

Jdub is my hero
yet he want 6.5k for 94 f150
It's a 95 and it's sold
Don't forget to mention its a built 95 Lightning, not a plain jane F150. Shits only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, I'm sitting on my truck until it sells for the price I want and that's the way it is. Glad to see you got your asking price for the truck too, it was super clean.

I don't see what is so wrong with feeling someone out over the phone.

"Hi there, I saw the ad, if the car looks as nice in real life as it does in the pics, I am prepared to offer you $XXXX. How does that sound to you?"

Simple...

If the owner says no, you move on.
If the owner agrees to your price you go see the car. If it then meets your expectations, you buy it for that amount. If it doesn't you walk away.

Very simple low-baller etiquette lol (and yes I have known to be a low baller at times but I try to be as respectful about it as possible, lol)

I'm just caught up on wasting people's time if you know in advance that you are gonna toss out a low-ball offer.

There is also one other aspect to Luke's Low Baller Handbook. How long has the car been for sale? If it is a month or two, I think its completely gravy to shake things up a bit. But if the car was just posted, well, the probability of your low-ball having a positive outcome is slim.

Just mho [patriot]

I totaly agree with you nothing wrong with it AND this whole it's disrespectful thing is BS, who wants to be the sucker that pays more then he had to?

That's a good point, he should get a Honduh to guarantee it gets stolen. Seeing as how 99.9% of them have salvage titles from either being stolen or wrecked and put back together with parts from the stolen ones I'm sure you can get a great deal on one! My favorite is the white with a black front end, really sets the car off.

Agreed... if it's theft, use an autolock and a kill switch and you deter most thieves. I would commute the shit out of a stock fox lol.

i don't care how much gas i would save in a honda fit, but i would never buy a gay ass car like that, no offense [Wink] . it's as bad as a prius. put whatever rims on it, it's still ugly as fuck. i'm just saying [dance] .

btw, i commute in a fox and it's the only car that i've had i don't ever get bored of driving. i admit, it has MANY flaws, but that's what makes it fun to drive. i can afford to commute 90miles a day in a v8 so i do [Big Grin] .

its a trade off to me. drive a car that you are into and spend more in gas doing it. or drive a vehicle where your sexual preference and manhood will possibly be in question and save some gas doing it. [Big Grin]
