So I couldn't wait and I sent an email with some question about the car

Good luck with the hopes of your new acquistion

So he responded yesterday, and answered all my questions. He told me the car was in a small accident. Another car lost control and spun eventually hitting the front bumper.

So i replied asking for the VIN number.

I did a car Proof and it verified the claim, it was estimated at $1800 in repairs

I Have His number I will call him after work tonight

I'll keep you posted

Good luck!

He is asking $8500 cert for a 2001 GT with 100k on it. He says he is a motivated seller.

when I call him I'm gonna try to get $7000 cash for as-is and I'll pick it up this weekend.

Is that too low or should I push it and try for $6500?

Average price for a V6 of that year and km is around $5000. This sounds too good to be true!?

Ahhhh
 

So, I called him yesterday. Ready to negotiate, Ready to stick to my guns!

After a few questions about the car, I ask the big question...

"What's the lowest you will let her go?"

Now I have I all planed out in my head. He will say $8000 certified, and I'll say $7000, he will respond with no thats too low. then I'll counter with $7000 uncertified and i pay in cash and pick it up on Sat.

His response actually was :
"The lowest I will ever go is $7000!"

That completely caught me off guard. I was flabbergasted
"Uh.. ah.. Okay?! I can be there Sat. with $7000."

"No, Its not ready yet, I still have to get the Used car package and get it certified." He says

At this point Im jumping in the street.... AHHHHH!! 7k and he is going to cert. :chacha:

After calming down "Okay, can I come up can look at this weekend?"

So Im going to see it tomorrow. I wont be able to sleep. :tup

That sounds awesome - fingers crossed for you.

So I looked at the car on Saturday... It was Beautiful!!

I'm also very glad that we settled on a price before I saw her.

A friend from work, drove me there. It was about 100km drive. We get out of the car ... and it looks sweet.
I've done this quite a few times. Put the poker face on, and dont seem too interested. Ask 100 questions and never reply too positive ... "uh uh", "oh", or "okay"

But as soon as I opened the hood, and he started it up... I couldn't stop smiling :)
I also stopped asking questions ... I was sold.

My buddy took over and started asking the questions while I stood there grinning. During the test drive I couldn't stop praising the car. When we got back ... I gave him a deposit, got a receipt and shook hands.

He will get the used car package and get the safety and e-test and I will pick it up next weekend.
