Every day that goes by, I get closer and closer to taking the plunge...
I just put down a deposit (fully refundable) to hold a coach until the end of next week. Nada says 47k - 57k. The seller wants 45k, and won't budge AT ALL. Needs new tires, and new house batteries. I did a thorough inspection today, and found no major issues. I still plan to have an independent inspection, although I doubt anything they find will get the seller to budge.
The unit is a 2008 Fleetwood Fiesta LX 34N. Is this a fair price? I can't fathom that the price is non-negotiable, but then again she's asking below Nada. Aside from the tires/batteries, it's in really good shape...basically immaculate.
Cruch time... :/
I rarely sell stuff, but when I did I used to put a fair price on things that was already my bottom dollar. I found that NOBODY wants to buy anything from a private party at the price they are asking regardless of what it is. People who buy used things apparently don't feel good about it unless they can talk the seller into a lower price. Didn't take me long to realize that asking a fair bottom dollar price from the beginning was the wrong way to go. So now I ask a higher price and let people talk me down to what I would have sold it for anyway and they buy and everybody is happy, even though they didn't really save a dime. Why do you think every time you go into a store almost everything is on sale? And yet people still fall for that.
