After 8 out your way? I rarely see the 10:00 news any more but get up at 6:30. Nice and quiet over a cup of coffee in the morning.

Just the facts, ma'am
Just got caught up too. OK. catch you around.
Yep going to get worse.
I read 15% higher then last season.
Ouch!
Sorry no help here but nice to hear from you.
For me 5.00 would be a breaking point. At least for diesel, my truck gets about 14MPG no towing on the highway! 12 in town.

A broker as in an in-between man between the buyer and seller?
My car came from a couple of guys that bought and sold cars and car parts. That's as close as I've ever come to a broker. If you mean new car dealer, never done that.

I mean like the guy that sells the cars to the dealerships at auctions. I got offered to buy a car from a broker, for $1000 less than Blue Book. I've got the carfax and that is good. Then when talking to him tonight, he dropped it another $400. He says it saves him the auctions fees and they make more money on it this way. It just seems like a to good to be true thing so I wanted to know if anyone has ever had experience doing so.

Thanks I appreciate it. He wants me to take a look at it tomorrow and if I do that is when he offered it to me for $1400 cheaper. The car seems legit, just has me nervous.
I'm not understanding. Are you able to look at the car? If it is what you want make an offer and then negotiate.
And there are a lot of fees anymore. I quit the auctions. The one I was buying at wanted a $400 sellers fee plus a percentage and then there is the buyers fee. So the Auction house makes a minimum of $800 on the car. It is also a big hassle. you have to be there when it sells and then you wait in line for a long time. He sounds like he is cutting the fee prices right off the top and passing that saving on to you.

This is a straight up price, plus tax, title and license. No buyers fees etc... They are selling this car outside of the auction and for themselves. No negotiating the price it is what it is.

Just doing what I do
Ok, TMM has a beer truck now...
That's what I am meaning. He is saving those fees by selling it outside. I am sure they know about what it will go for. And when I was buying and selling we would rotate the inventory. If a car doesn't sell you move it through the auction. You are guaranteed a sell but you don't know what you are going to get.
That's perfect Dave! Thanks man!

So it isnt odd that his original asking price was $1000 less than blue book and when talking to him tonight he dropped another $400. My gut was telling me that something is wrong with it. Although from what you are saying that is normal and not to worry?
How about this as a beer wagon?
Take a good look at it and see if you think if it's worth it...
If it's below market value and is a good car then you may get a good deal...
Test every button and knob to make sure it works so you don't have any surprises...
Play hard to get and see if the price drops any more....
