So I got an offer on my car. It's $700 less than my listing price, but let's be honest, I would have let them beat me down $400 on it, so it's $300 less than what I would really want to get for it.
So, do I take the offer, or do I decline in light of the fact that I need the car to get to my temping work, otherwise it's over 2 hours and three buses each way to the office.
Also keeping in mind that this chick hasn't laid eyes on the car. I don't want to agree, and then she turns up and wants to pick at shit and try to get an even lower price.
Thoughts?
I am leaning towards accepting it, just to get it done and dusted. I am sure I can suck it up for two measly weeks getting to this job on the buses. It costs far more getting the buses (over $15 a day) than it cost to drive the car (I use $30 in a WEEK and that includes weekend driving), but again - only for two weeks. Plus, I could probably hitch a few rides here and there from people, which saves a few bucks.
So, yeah. I want to accept, and get her to come and get it. If she turns up and wants to haggle, I'll just remind her that I already dropped a lot off my sale price and that I can't drop any more. If she isn't happy, then I guess I go back to waiting.
I can always drop the price if it's unsold and I need to leave but, of course, the more money I can get for it, the better. But what if I have to resort to that, and I kick myself because I could have had what is actually a decent price in my hand now?
Hmmm.
