How much do you "move" on price in selling a car?
Just curious, I have a Honda on cars.com that has been there for 2 weeks. It's an 05 with 7K miles. Probably not the best time to sell a car over the summer as the dealer is giving a sweet deal on 05's with 0 miles. As it's a Honda there are no other options to add. It would be virtually identical to mine (with 0 miles).
The price on cars.com is about 1.5K less than the dealer, and more than I owe (but not a lot).
A guy finally looked at it this evening and said he would make me an offer tommorow (pending financing, I guess), but he didn't want to insult me. Whatever, it's a Honda I have no love for it.
I know my bottom number (carmax appraised), but would rather acheive more. He kindly "noticed" to me that it had been on cars.com for a "while".
Noone wants to feel taken and I'm not dying to sell it for a sacrifice or anything but I do want it gone to get out of the payment and buy something else. I'm not much of a negotiator on selling (do better on buying) and won't do well on a trade (been to carmax).
Just curious to see your strategies.
