if & when , you go to see this car , don't let your heart do the negotiating , you haven't mentioned if you have been looking at a few before this , or if you are a seasoned negotiator , from my experience as a former auctioneer , my grandfather , & father , which taught me , & this is only my 2 cent's worth , if you fall in luv with something you want to purchase , being a nice set of wheel's or ? , negotiate with a low ball first , example ; 30 to 40 % of the asking price . want's a 1000.00 , offer 650.00 . wait for his response , & it will soon tell you , if he's had offer's , or he's stuck in gear , or if he's played this game for a few yr's , get to learn these sign's , & at this point , you will know which route to take with the seller , these sigh's show ; if the seller need's the cash today , which i have learn't , the age factor , being fairly well off , & elderly , or a young buck , like we used to be , wanting cash to pay for the next month's rent , or out on the weekend . by the sound of the seller's voice , tone & expression , meaning looking you straight in the eye's , generally mean's he or she is not going to do much negotiating , hang on ! i'm doing so much babbling , gotta go for a !!!! . --- !!!! wabbleeeee pop's , any hoo , throw your offer in if you like the car , wait 2 to 3 day's , telling him / her you are interested in the car & no more , if they call you back in within this time , you know negotiations are on , if they don't call you , and your still in luv with the buggy , tell them you'll meet em half way , if not ! there's alway's another one around the corner . i haven't alway's gotten good deal's in life , over paid for some muscle car's & did'nt have any remorse about it , i simply done some work to them to bring them back up to the going rate & better . like stock's & bond's , there's a time to hold on , & a time to sell . same as r.e right now , now is the time to buy , & hold onto if you've got the spare cash ? . hold on & that wave will come back again , & you will be one happy camper that you did so . good luck in your buying venture's - tommy
