I f I get lowballed as soon as he enters the garage...I usually ask him to step back just a little so the garage door doesn't close on him.
At that point I go back inside leaving him (I hope) with the impression that he has insulted me.
When I buy one...I am open to what the owner is saying...I think over what good points he has made...and I look the car over as carefully as I can....before making an offer.
So often...with my own cars...and with friends....I have seen the typical (sometimes cigar chewing) idiot...enter the room...make a stupid offer..saying something like.."I'll tell you what I'm going to do for you"....(at this point ...there is NOTHING he can do for me)...and he lowballs my price.
What ever happened to fair play and chivalry?
My grandfather would roll over in his grave if he saw the crass, ungentlemanly, greedy way some buyers are.
I hope they get exactly what they deserve....lemons.

This was well said..
In regards to the gentleman who said he doesnt live in the same realm.. correct you do not apparently.. some people "WANT" to sell cars but that doesnt mean they WILL at any price.. they are content to just wait for the price they will accept.. end of story.. until then they will drive and adore or maybe just adore the object they have..
I dont understand what is so difficult about that concept to grasp.
Now, are there some desperate people out there willing to take a lowball offer? sure.. are they quality Porsche owners? I would say, (and this is profiling just like Mr. Obama having beer served for an Irishman who doesnt drink beer), that no..not many quality porsche owners are dumb enough to get them into a "situation"..
