Mine was up for £21.5k to start with.
I emailed the guy and he stated he would go no lower then £20k. Not bad to get him to drop £1.5k over a few emails though!
About 2 weeks later I searched again and noticed the car hadnt sold, so contacted him again, thinking he may drop a little more to sell.
Went to look at the car, and we agreed on £19k.
We even shook hands etc - the deal was done.
I had to wait to transfer some money between accounts, and get time off of work to collect.
In this time he kept asking for a deposit, but I said I would rather give the whole lot in one go. He persisted, to which I politely threatened to walk!
A few days later, I went to pick up the car, but said I couldnt go any further then £18.5k.
I had a bankers cheque for £18.5k on me, and thought I would try mu luck. I still had £500 in cash on me in case he didnt accept.
Seeing the cheque was for £18.5k only, and that he wanted to sell the car, he just caved in
So I knocked £3k off of mine. However, I do believe what I paid was right and he had it overpriced at the time anyways....
