"I've got cash!"

[marshalt]

So I'm trying to sell my car. I've had 3 people come and look at it. It always goes the same way.

Jerk: "How much do you want for it?"

Me: "Like the ad said, $1,500."

Jerk: "Will you take $700?"

Me: "No."

Jerk: "What about $850? I'll pay cash!"

Me: "Of course you'll pay cash. How else do you plan on fucking paying for it? Do you see a credit card machine around here? Do I look like a fucking bank? Do you think I'm going to fucking finance you? Fuck no! Obviously this is going to be a fucking cash transaction! But no, I'm not going to entertain your low-ball bullshit anymore, so fuck off."

I'd make a great salesman.

Shoulda asked $2k.

 

[marshalt]

The dealership said they would give me $1100 on trade. Blue Book is $2000. I think I'm being pretty reasonable.

Over time, I've learned to add the word 'firm' after the price when selling cars (and we go thro a couple of sales a year).
Can't really blame the buyers for haggling though..... I do it too, when I'm looking to purchase

Your selling it Craigslist aren't you? Some of the buyers can be weird as hell.

 

[bg23]

if you lived in michigan i'd totally buy your car!

 

[LiFeNdEaTh]

lol...

Oh, I you way too much to inflict this car on you. But I would certainly haggle with you all day!

I expect haggling, and I would take a couple hundred less than what I'm asking. But I'm not going to cut the price in half.

Gee, how could you tell...
Craigslist sucks

See, what I do when a seller wants to play "firm" is insist on a test drive, and then I park the car in some crappy neighbourhood about 40 miles away and ring back to offer the location or the low-ball price.

 

[Liar]

They: "I've got cash!"

Me: "That's an extra $50 then, because I have to make a trip to the bank and deposit it."

 

[kbate]

They - "I've got Cash, give me a discount"

Me - "I've got Gun, give me cash"

The car is just a ploy . . . I love craigslist

One thing that has been very odd about this whole ordeal is that none of these people have asked for a test drive. One guy did ask me to start it, but that's it.

Bank cheque.

Yes, I would take a cashier's check (I'm guessing that's the same as a bank check) but I don't see why I should get excited about cash. It's all money.

The same thing happened when I tried selling my iPad. They think just because I'm a girl they can negotiate a deal. Firm is firm, damn it!

You might have to say you want $2,000 just to talk someone down to the $1,500 that you want.

And that is what I don't want to do. To me, it's worth 1500 and I'd like to get 1500. I hate this haggling bullshit.

just out of curiosity, how did you advertise it?

ebay seems more legit, while craigslist has a sense of 'gypsy' to it, in my experience

Gypsies drive 1500 dollar cars so craigs is appropriate.
