I'm buying a second hand car and am negotiating price. The guy is asking too much and the car has been for sale for a while. He wants 52k and I want to pay 49. He's telling me dealers are offering him 50k. I wouldn't have thought dealers would offer that much? Even if they did get it for 50k and bumped up the price 3K or so, their profit margins would be minimal? Do u guys reckon this guy is telling porkies? I don't want to lose the car, but I want to get a decent price.
