Drove bordeaux c32 at HOI , now need help bargaining

Well , the c32 was quite fast. I enjoyed it very much, awesome car! Well when we sat down to discuss the price, they wanted 56k for the car! The car is a bordeaux red c32, with 300 miles on it. I offered 48k, and they came back with a 53k offer. I think I should be able to get it for 50k, anyone have any thoughts?

probably $52 OTD. Who'd you talk to ?

Andrew Lian is my sales. just ask him to be honest and show you what did the dealer pay to accuire that car. Usually about $1k-2k above what the dealer pay for the car is about right.

I talked to Daniel Di Conti, very nice guy. I think around 50k should be the price for the car.

Options?

Options who cares,

gimpy I assume are down at the dealer right now. Next we won't hear from you for a few days, and then you will show up Monday morning looking like a tom cat that has been out making the "rounds".

Best luck with the deal

Fact one; your C.R.E.A.M. will not burn a hole in your pocket, next with the present economic climate you can choose your price as long as it is a "Fair" one, sales people have to eat too Best time to really purchase a whip is during the last weeks of Dec. Good luck on your quest

Assuming it doesn't come with any options, 53K would be the same price as a brand new MY2003 in the same color. 56K seems high unless it comes with COMAND, Xenons, and a CD changer.

I personally would tell them that, and also say you could just as easily order a brand new one from another dealer at the same price. The key to getting the price you want is to be armed with all the info before you get there and if they don't treat you right, get up and leave. On my last purchase, a 2000 ML430, I got up left when they didn't want to bargain. As I was leaving, they knocked on my car window and accepted my offer....

I know you were probably excited to find and finally drive that awesome car, but the dealers know that and know that you may not be paying attention to the details.

lol, I guess you don't need to know what kind of option does it have. You just have to know it's FAST.
