      That dealer does not negotiate. Shopped there a few times and my first time I walked out. They followed up but still didn’t negotiate. A week went buy and the car I wanted sold. They got another xjr in and I ended up getting it later. They rarely budge but the cars they sell are spotless. Their clientele is so large they could care less if you walk.

    • @borjastick

    • @chrisnunya2001
      @chrisnunya2001 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Never take "No" for an answer and never tell them at the beginning the most you will offer because that's what they are wanting the most they can get out of you. That car didn't cost them 69K they probably made 10K off of you. They definitely could have taken 66 or 67 for it they won't want too but they would if you threatened to walk away. I got about 4 K off asking price when I bought my last car and that's after I threatened to walk away it's amazing what they'll accept when YOU won't go any higher they are the ones who need to sell the car more than you need to buy it.

  • @markwilding3828
    @markwilding3828 6 ปีที่แล้ว +128

    You need to think about your negotiation technique. Too fast to counter when you got shut down at 66K. You had 68K in a backpack... you needed to show it and then walk it out of the showroom, then let him explain to his boss how he let you walk away. When you get the call, then YOU control the deal. Negotiation means nothing if you are not prepared to walk away from a deal and not look back.

    I have a feeling he got an automatic because he's in the process of beginning his exotic car rental company. It's easier for clients to drive an auto, which would prompt the need for it over a manual.
    It would also explain why he purchased it outright, instead of financing it (unless he got approved for a loan that big). I don't think insurance would cover a business lean like that.

    Disclaimer for younger impressionable viewers out there: Don’t drop 68 grand cash on a depreciating asset if you can avoid it. Even if your cash flow is quite positive, a smart move is to keep as much as you can to have available for investments, savings, opportunities etc. In reality, the R8 is an investment for The Stradman as it will bring viewers to his channel and make him money. Just something to keep in mind.

    Congrats on the purchase. I think you came to in way too high. I would have said 60k to start. If he said no, then tell him to get the manager. If the manager said “No”, then I would have walked. Dealerships like that, that sell used stuff and try to squeeze every penny from you because they think that their cars are rare, are scumbags.

      @ that price, might well go 458. but from there, might well wait a bit 'cause youre close to Aventador or 720S.
      so, under $75K, it's used R8 V8 or BMW i8 or maybe F430 or Bentley GT Sport..you could have two of those for the price of one v10
      you drive one, you let your current main girl drive the other, to feel Kardashian & make 'friends' jealous, you reap those rewards every night they come back
