I have never out right sold a vehicle I own, I'm too greedy I like to keep them.

Well i put my explorer up for sale a couple weeks ago on CL.

I had a guy from Saginaw call me tonight and he JUST saw in on CL and said If I will take $2500 Cash he will coem get it tomorrow.


I do not want to take $2500 cash, thats like $800 less than I'm asking my obo price.


How do I go about like counter offering with this guy who has never seen or driven my vehicle?

 

[lastmanstandin]

Tell him, " sorry I need to get 3100 for it. "

Is 2500 the Best Offer you've gotten? If so you should sell it to him... You said Or Best Offer. Quit being a penny pincher.

Ive had vehicles for sale and ppl want you to cut the price in half. No doubt you will have to buy another vehicle to replace this one? if so your short changing yourself in the process.
Tell him you cant go that low but you "do" want to sell. "Stop by and look it over and then we can settle on a price.
How bad do you want to sell it?, its only been 2 weeks. It could take 2 more weeks or 2-3 months depending on you settling on a price.
Good luck.

I've had a couple people look at it. $2500 is the second cash offer I've gotten but the truck still Kbbs for like $3390, the first cash offer was for $2200 from a kid who told me he had to ask his mom first if it was ok. So I don't want to take the first couple dollars thrown my way.

And I'm just to the point of how can you offer me some money without even driving the dang thing or seeing it in person.

Actually I don't need to buy a vehicle to replace it, I did that back in April. The Explorer makes vehicle number 4 for me, no one else drives them but me.

ask him to throw in a hj

 

[Trendsetter]

book may be $3390 but that is only if someone is willing to pay $3390... book is more of a suggestion. reality is take the first offer its normally the best

 

[Ember]

I am probably going to call him back but I'm def. not taking $2500. I can keep it and get more use out of it for that.

 

[chadcooper55]

right now you will be very very lucky to get kbb out of a truck! i tried to sell my truck for quite a while that kbb at 6400 and i was only able to get 3800. michigan economy sucks for vehicles!

 

[Kodiak450r]

tell him to come look at it before making an offer. if you want 3300 and he offered 2500 tell him it's his for 2900.

 

[dreezy]

I think you should sell it to him for $2k and a bj.

 

[lauriat]

I almost always low ball to see how bad they need the money. I also go even lower if the house is a shit hole with a bunch of beat up vehicles sitting around. If you think you can get 3400 for it keep it for another year. Not many ppl are going to pay what KBB says unless its low mileage, rust free and no dents or scratches.

 

[Silver Bullet]

if youdont have to sell be patient unless you want to sell.

I can tell just by how he sounds on the phone he isn't anyone I'd mess with.


I have a feeling if he does buy it, it will get gigantic rims and like 40 tvs and some crazy skittles paint job..haha


Actually for the year the truck is pretty clean, no wheel well rot, no hatch rot, etc, I've taken very good care of it.

 

[Sol Goode]

I am 99.9997% sure the buyer of your piece of shit is not going to dump money into it making it respectable.

So your racist? If you have a thing against black guys, go with poder_bobs idea.

If you own 4 cars, by law you have to take the first cash offer. Counter offering on cars can land you 30 days in jail.

Just an FYI.
