“Don’t lowball the seller” *Asks for 50% of the price*

@johnschliesleder7090 4 жыл бұрын

That's how negotiation works. You work up the amount so the seller feels good about getting more money then what the buyer wanted.

The seller, Frank, was gracious enough to allow you to video the buying process for your viewers and your channel, the least you could have done was to repay his kindness by throwing-in the extra $100 he asked for.

I have been using this video series to help my son find a good cash car. It has been super valuable, great time spent with my son instructing him on the process and helping him feel comfortable taking his time and not jumping at the first thing that he looks at. My takeaways in order: 1. The process of determining the value of a car PRIOR to seeing the car might the best part of this series. 2. Finding all the things that are wrong, and determining if they are more trouble than they are worth. If not, factor the repairs into the negotiation. Seems obvious, but I didn't do that in the past. 3. Knowing what you are willing to spend, and walking away if you cannot agree on that price. I had one observation of the ChrisFix checklist. I didn't see a place to write the mileage. Maybe I missed it. But having that recorded prior to seeing the car was helpful in one case where the car's mileage was meaningfully different from the listing (around 12,000 mi different). I don't know that I would have noticed otherwise. We haven't found the right deal yet, but thanks to this series, we feel like "pros," which gives us confidence.

@Green Giant you have a twisted way of viewing standard business practices. You ALWAYS should try to get the cheaper price on goods and services if at all possible. Used cars come with risks of internal parts going kaputz. As long as the seller was satisfied with the deal - that's all the hell that matters. The only Class B guy here dude is you. If you talk me down on a price and I agree to it - I'm not being ripped off or bled. If I'm not happy with an offer, I don't have to accept. Same thing with Frank dealing with Chris. Frank agreed - so why are you pissed off? Keep in mind., Frank was not mentally deficient.

Here is an update for everyone: -Frank was compensated for letting me film. I fixed his other car and saved him over $600. I did this because he was great with letting me film the video. -I thought I made it clear but for those who are confused, this car is worth $2500 with no problems, it needs $1200+ in work to make it safe to drive, so a $1900 offer is more than fair (and he had many people check the car and not even get an offer because of the bad shape the car was in). A dealer would have given him $800 for a trade in if they even took it at all. -For those of you saying, "I would have just given him the extra $100" you are missing the point. If you give the person even more money than the car is worth, you are getting taken advantage of. No one is forcing the owner to sell the car to me, he agreed to the deal. If he didnt want to sell it, he didnt have to sell it. -Hopefully that clears somethings up for those who are confused! Hopefully the series was helpful!

I guess that makes sense and that might have influenced his selling price in the end slightly.

they are trying to do better than trade-in value. chrisfix probably knows that too. and the guy mentioned he's shown it to a few other people, that's a mistake. shoulda kept it to himself. he's doing the work of a dealer and didn't make much more.. the miles sound bad and hard to find people that want to fix up an old car though

Most car shoppers get too emotional about the product, imagining themselves driving it around town, telling their family and friends, thinking how cool they will look in it, etc...As hard as it is to do, you have to be emotionally detached and willing to walk away. Chris did just that. Great job! That's how you do it!

Emotions play a huge role in the sales process. Some people will avoid a test drive all together to avoid this, but I don't recommend it, as you should ALWAYS test drive a vehicle before purchasing. And technically you want to buy a car you CAN be emotionally attached to, just don't let that play a role in your negotiating.

@@princeakilesh4881 So I've been doing a lot of studying on buying cars from dealerships and yes, Dealerships will try to put on a _lot_ of 'add-ons' and 'fees' to jack their prices up. You can tell them *NO* to any add-ons, and most, if not ALL of the fees they add are straight-up bogus. My advice would be to settle on a fair price in your budget, then, if they try to add any fees to make you pay more, tell them "I'll pay those fees if you take the amount of them off the price of the car". Not 100% sure if it'd work, but it lets them know you're adamant about sticking to your guns and if they don't agree, stand up, shake their hand and say "Adios" 😂 (just kidding, but be sure to let them know you're not afraid of walking away. That puts extra pressure on them to sell at _your_ price, not theirs)

So, if we assume $2500 is the standard trade in, taking off $1200 for all the things he'll need to fix would be $1300. $1500>$1300, so Chris actually gave a pretty good offer.

Why does it matter what Chris's occupation is? Purchasing an item is purchasing an item, the number isn't arbitrary. Would $2100 be reasonable? Up to you. But 1900 is still lower than 2000 and that's how negotiating works. Having an even round number isn't worth $100.
