Please help me Negotiate

Hi,

Planning to go look at this car tomorrow. I don't want to low ball him but yet I want a good deal. KBB is at $22k for good condition. Just wondering what you guys will buy for this car cash? Thanks in advance

If it is very clean and has extended warranty, I would go as high as 24k. Being under warranty is worth a lot.

Considering I just got a 14 with 30k for 30500, I wouldn't pay more than 22 for that one IMO. ITS BEAUTIFUL, but also 5 years old

It's a 2011 though. At an auction in Texas with similar mileage I saw a couple closer to 20k. Buddy bought a 2013 4matic with 38k for 22500

It doesn't look like a P2 option package as you don't see the headlamp washers. Given that discrepancy, they could be wrong about the warranty thinking that it is covered as still under 50k miles.

I would proceed with caution. With no warranty and no P2, I would lowball. It's craigslist after all.

Get a PPI and check service records, preferably from VMI at dealer.

Don't believe everything you read. I don't think it has P2 although it says it does. You'd have the headlamp washers if it had the bixenons. No parktronic either so I wouldn't go too crazy chasing it.

I was about to say I have the P2 package but I don't have any headlamp washers. Then I checked to make sure and apparently I do. I don't even know how to use them, haha.

The washers are automatically discharged.

It's in the manual. You turn the headlamps on, and after 10 squirts of the windshield washer fluid, it will activate the washers. In the W211, they used to have a button to turn them on and later got rid of it and set it to kick in every 5 washes, now I guess they upped it to 10 washes.

There is nothing personal with a dealer about making a bid for car you want. They have a price in mind before you would even see the car displayed. If you want, offer $20,000. If the dealer says no, then offer 20,500. Etc....you will not hurt anyone's feelings, but you might save a little money.
